5 bed detached house for sale

Box Lane, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire HP3

An Arts & Crafts inspired family home requiring modernisation but providing enormous scope for further improvement, situated on a magnificent 1.5 acre sylvan plot flanked Trust owned land.

Description
An attractive Arts & Crafts inspired family home with attractive elevations providing versatile accommodation arranged over two well planned floors. Whilst in need of modernisation, the property is presented well throughout and offers scope for further improvements and enlargement subject to planning consent. The property is also situated on a superb mature plot bordered by open fields and woodland.

The living accommodation is accessed from a central hallway and comprises a lovely triple aspect living room, a family room and formal dining room, all arranged around a conservatory addition which enjoys views over the gardens to the front. Adjacent to the dining room is a kitchen with further breakfast room which leads through a utility room and further walk-in pantry. To the rear of the house there is a separate study.

On the first floor there are five generous bedrooms which all enjoy wonderful views, served by two bath/shower rooms.

A real feature of the property is a beautiful plot of about 1.5 acres, flanked and bordered by Boxmoor Trust grazing land and woodland. The Boxmoor Trust is a charitable organisation who play a vital role in the protection and management of nearly 500 acres of glorious Chilterns countryside.

The house is set well back on its plot, enjoying an elevated position with formal gardens to both front and rear. The gardens are interspersed and bordered by mature trees providing both seclusion & privacy and allowing for a wonderfully tranquil setting. Within the garden is a detached double garage.
