About this property

A rarely available and truly individual four double bedroom, three bathroom detached family home
with substantial garden. Sitting on a plot size of approximately 0.37 of an acre, the house is situated in the prestigious Parkside Drive, which is part of the sought after Cassiobury Estate. Adjacent to Cassiobury Park itself and 1m on foot to Watford Underground Station and 1.1m on foot to Watford Junction. Built around 1934, this wonderful home offers flexible accommodation and boasts an impressive orangery to the rear of the house which gazes over the sizable mature rear garden. The porch gives way to a charming entrance hall, defined by the lines of the original oak wood panelling. Immediately to the right is a formal dining room, set around a grand marble fireplace, converted to gas but currently disused. The room also boasts oak wood panelling and two original stain glass windows, which previously joined the room with the outside. Spanning 23ft from the front of the house, the sitting room on the left side of the house has an elevated ceiling and benefits from dual aspect windows which draw natural light into the room. The room is further illuminated by light coming through full height glass panels and double doors, encased in a brickwork arch connecting the room to the orangery. The centre piece of the house is a bright open-plan orangery, currently used as a family room with adjoining fitted kitchen. There are full length glass windows and doors with a glass roof which has electrically operated openings. The handmade oak kitchen with marble work top offers a range of wall and base units with space for integrated appliances. Centrally placed, a kitchen island provides more storage, space for a wine cooler, induction hob and overhead extractor fan. The floor has been completely finished with tiles and has underfloor heating. There is a utility room leading off from the kitchen area with further wall and base units incorporating a full size airing cu
