5 bed detached house for sale

Morgan Gardens, Aldenham WD25

An exceptional detached family home positioned within the heart of the picturesque semi-rural village of Aldenham, offering beautifully presented accommodation, a south-westerly garden extending beyond 160 ft, and an outstanding bespoke kitchen.

Occupying a generous plot at the end of a cul-de-sac, this substantial home has been thoughtfully remodelled and meticulously maintained by the current owners, combining timeless design with high quality contemporary finishes.

The kitchen is unquestionably the focal point of the home.

Designed by Tom Howley, the space has been created with both entertaining and everyday family living in mind. Large floor-to-ceiling glazing frames views over the landscaped garden, whilst an impressive roof lantern floods the dining area with natural light, and a substantial central island, complemented by a marble splashback and integrated Wolf range cooker, reinforces the quality found throughout. Doors open directly onto the terrace and garden beyond, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

Adjoining the kitchen is a separate snug/TV room, alongside a well-planned utility and boot room, in addition to a guest cloakroom.

A dual-aspect reception room enjoys views over the rear garden and features a beautiful hand-carved fireplace with inset log-burning stove, bespoke cabinetry and French doors opening directly onto the terrace. Elsewhere, the welcoming entrance hall is finished with solid wood parquet flooring laid in a classic herringbone pattern, setting the tone for the quality found throughout the property. Thoughtful modern enhancements including Lutron lighting, smart zoned heating, underfloor heating, an integrated Sonos sound system serving the kitchen, dining and reception areas, and air conditioning to both the kitchen/dining room and principal bedroom further elevate day-to-day comfort.

The versatile ground floor accommodation also includes a further reception room/fifth bedroom with en suite shower room, ideal for guests, an au pair or multi-generational living.

To the first floor, the principal suite is exceptionally well appointed and benefits from both his and hers walk-in wardrobes alongside a spacious en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Subject to the usual consents, neighbouring homes have successfully converted the loft spaces, suggesting excellent potential for further enlargement if required.

Externally, the rear garden is one of the home’s standout features. Extending in excess of 160 ft and enjoying a highly desirable south-westerly orientation, the grounds have been immaculately landscaped and maintained, with expansive lawned areas framed by mature planting, established trees and substantial hedging creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

To the front, a large block paved carriage driveway provides extensive off-street parking and is complemented by a secure car port.

Aldenham remains one of Hertfordshire’s most sought-after village settings, appreciated for its semi-rural character, excellent schooling options including Edge Grove, Aldenham and Haberdashers', and convenient access to Radlett, Elstree and major transport links into London.
