Description
Spanning over 2,000 sq. ft this 5 bedroom semi-detached house has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners, with a focus on quality and attention to detail.
A striking panelled entrance hallway, with restored wood flooring extending through much of the ground floor, leads to well-proportioned front and rear reception rooms, each featuring beautifully tiled hearths. There is a separate kitchen and the guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The first floor includes three spacious bedrooms, a study, and a stunning family bathroom with a vaulted ceiling, a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and a large apex window set within a slatted feature wall.
The loft has been converted to accommodate the principal suite, featuring a luxurious shower room with a sky lantern and large sliding doors to a Juliet balcony. Pocket doors lead to a dressing room with space for fitted units, a dressing table, and eaves storage.
The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with shrub borders, and provides access to the garage and side of the house.
Additional features include inset ceiling speakers, retro column radiators, off-street parking for several cars, double glazing, and gas central heating.
Located on Orchard Drive, this home is near the award-winning Cassiobury Park and within easy reach of Watford Town Centre’s shops, bars, and restaurants. Excellent transport links are close by, including Watford Metropolitan Station and Watford Junction. Families will benefit from nearby Cassiobury & Nascot Wood Infant & Junior Schools, as well as the renowned Watford Grammar Schools.
The house is available on an unfurnished basis from mid January.
