A beautifully presented four bedroom home situated in a sought-after gated residential development in Bushey
Description
Royal Connaught Park is a Grade II listed complex and was until recently occupied by The International University Europe. 70 years prior to that it was home to The Royal Masonic School for Boys. The original buildings were designed by the Victorian architects Gordon, Lowther & Gunton, and the foundation stone was laid by Queen Victoria's son The Duke of Connaught. Today this magnificent collection of buildings still enjoys superb views across its own 100 acres of mature landscaped grounds. This really is a most handsome building and parts of Royal Connaught Park have also featured in many films, including Harry Potter.
The development is gated with concierge, 24 hours security, and extensive visitors parking. There is a private state of the art health and fitness centre located in the original signature building, including a superb indoor heated swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. There are two tennis courts in the grounds and courtesy bus service to Bushey and Watford Junction railway station.
The front door is accessed through the cloister which in turn leads to a spacious entrance hall which provides access to all ground floor rooms and a large cupboard ideal for storage. All rooms have very high ceilings giving a real sense of space and both the sitting room and kitchen/dining room have bespoke, made to measure, plantation shutters. The kitchen/dining room is a real feature with a range of fitted cabinets in grey, contrasting the lighter coloured composite work surfaces. Appliances are by Miele with an oven and microwave and there is an integrated fridge and freezer. The kitchen is finished with a stunning mirrored splashback. The ground floor is complete with a separate utility room and a downstairs WC.
A wide stairway leads to the first floor of which hosts three large, double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and the largest of the three bedrooms has a contemporary en suite bathroom. There is a further family shower room on this floor with large shower unit.
The entire top floor is designated to the principal suite. There is a large sleeping area, double doors leading to a spacious fitted dressing room, which in turn leads to a stunning en suite complete with bath and separate shower. The property further benefits from underfloor heating to all floors, has access to three private parking spaces and will be sold with no onward chain.
