5 bed detached house for sale

California Lane, Bushey Heath WD23

A beautiful period home where many original features remain including leaded light windows, bay windows, porch, wide cornices, picture rails and fireplaces.

Upon entering the external symmetry is replicated internally with matching doors on either side to the main reception areas and a glimpse of greenery teasing you from the end of the entrance hall. Although originally designed as two rooms, the triple aspect principal reception room now spans the full depth of the left side of the house and is always showered with natural light. The dining room is situated on the adjacent side of the house and abuts the breakfast room, creating an opportunity to combine the two rooms and replicate the principal reception room, with the kitchen and utility room a step up from the breakfast room and the guest WC off the entrance hall. The first floor comprises of a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, with three further bedrooms sharing the family bathroom and the fourth bedroom benefitting from its own en-suite shower room.

Our clients have advised the house is largely in its original form aside from some minor internal alterations. Therefore, it presents significant opportunity to extend and redevelop, with a plot large enough to potentially more than double the current size of the house, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.

Outside

A series of pathways and steps meander around the house, leading to seating areas, a garden room, and a detached garage.

To the front of the house is a 75ft wide shingle driveway, providing off street parking for several cars, side access to the rear garden and access to the garage for covered parking and storage.
