4 bed detached house for sale

Bedmond Road, Hemel Hempstead HP3

A superb family home with spacious accommodation, lots of potential, a wonderful garden, ample off-road parking and a double garage, located on the edge of Leverstock Green, convenient for access into St Albans, Watford and London.

The Property

This property offers everything you need, for right now, and for years to come. With accommodation surpassing 1700 sq.ft, there’s plenty of space for a family, whether looking to spread out or planning to expand. There’s also flexibility for different lifestyles and life stages.

The house has multiple reception rooms, including a lounge more than large enough to incorporate a play area for little ones, and a dining room ideal for daily meals and dinner parties alike. The office is secluded for working away in peace, and the conservatory is a sunny spot for taking time out while appreciating the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room at the back of the house is a great size, with capacity for a table so kids can do homework as parents prepare dinner. This is fitted in a range of cream Shaker-style cabinets, co-ordinating worktops, and with integrated appliances and a ceramic sink.

All the bedrooms are doubles to futureproof the property as children grow up, and an en suite to bedroom one saves queuing for the bathroom when they hit their teens. The bedrooms at the back have outlooks of fields, and two of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes for useful storage.

Being built in the 1970s, there’s a traditional feel here, with generous and airy rooms, and lovely natural light from large windows. Over the last 20 years, the cherished home has been kept in good order, and a recent refresh included new carpets and lighting, redecoration and a roof refurbish. It’s a blank canvas for new residents.

Although the home ticks the boxes already, there are opportunities to improve and update. There’s possibility (STPP) to reconfigure and extend the accommodation, perhaps by converting the loft into extra bedrooms or a primary suite. Converting the garage as neighbours have done would grant further downstairs living space.

The property also presents potential for an annexe, which would be a real advantage for adult children, or simply for guests to stay over. The office could be a fifth bedroom/small studio, the utility room could be a shower room, and the back door would afford a private entrance. Garage conversion would give a more substantial annexe.

The Plot

With the house set back far from the road, the frontage here has loads of off-road parking. The driveway is akin to a mini car park, and a fleet would fit comfortably. Other homes along Bedmond Road have added gates to their driveway, and the double garage allows for two cars to be kept under cover and away from the elements.

To the rear of the property, the garden is wonderful, with a good-sized lawn, a deck the full width of the house, and a wide variety of mature planting, from acer and apple trees, to pretty blooms such as peony, hydrangea and camellia. There’s also a rhubarb patch by the conservatory, and the side pathway is lined with wild strawberries. It seems all sorts thrive in this garden.

The Position

Bedmond Road is on the edge of Leverstock Green, a village on the outskirts of Hemel Hempstead. It’s perfectly positioned for access into St Albans in 10 minutes and Watford in 20, both of which have a mainline station for commuter services into the capital. Services from Watford reach London Euston in as little as 15 minutes, and services from St Albans into London St Pancras take c.20 minutes. The village is within easy access of the M1 and the M25 as well.

Leverstock Green has a selection of amenities including local shops and country pubs, while Hemel Hempstead and surrounding areas have a more comprehensive array. On the doorstep are cricket, tennis, football and riding clubs, as well as Centurion golf club. The biggest local greenspace is 120-acre Bunker’s Park, there’s 37-acre Long Deans nature reserve nearby, and the village has a central green and Westwick Field.

For families, there’s nursery and primary schooling within easy walking distance of the address. Secondary schools are only a short drive away, as are independents, the closest being Abbot’s Hill.
