5 bedroom detached house for sale

Set against a verdant backdrop of breathtaking countryside, yet only a few minutes from Tring, Woodside Lodge sits between fabulous, contemporary neighbouring properties, each of which occupy plots not exactly dissimilar to this one.

To say this is an increasingly rare opportunity in the local area is an understatement. A substantial, largely unadulterated mid-twentieth-century home; a gorgeous location with views; a large plot of just over an acre. And one only has to look at the neighbours to appreciate the significant redevelopment potential of this particular house, and the chance to transform it into something really exclusive.

The existing property is beautifully proportioned, with versatile, light-filled living spaces and four double bedrooms.

The ground floor has no fewer than four separate reception rooms, together with an impressive, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room which measures some 400 sq ft in its own right. Indeed, this stunning room really enjoys those fabulous views, thanks to its bifold doors which span the entire rear wall. Naturally, as you would expect from a property of this calibre, there is also a separate utility room and, completing the downstairs, is a spacious shower room. The proximity of this shower room and the adjacent study mean it could be easily configured to create a fifth, downstairs bedroom suite, if required.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, with the dual aspect principle bedroom benefiting from a spacious en suite and the most spectacular countryside views. Another guest bedroom also has its own en suite and the family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Sitting centrally in its mature gardens, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy. Approached by a sweeping driveway which allows plenty of parking and leads, eventually, to a detached double garage, the plot backs and fronts onto picturesque countryside, and the views are simply sublime. Indeed, the entire plot is a delight, with the many mature trees creating a private oasis, wrapping around the front, rear and both sides of the house. To the right hand side of the property, there is also an outdoor heated swimming pool.

Adjoining the double garage is a useful studio room, with potential to be used as guest accommodation, a hobbies room, or working from home space.

The property is offered for sale with no upper chain.
