Adjacent is the formal dining room, similarly styled with stripped pine flooring and offering an elegant space for family dinners or entertaining. The property enjoys double glazing throughout, except here, where the original sash has been kept as a feature. The welcoming entrance hall connects all areas of the home, providing access to the first floor, lower ground floor, a convenient guest cloakroom, and a raised terrace seating area, which overlooks the rear garden. Steps lead down from the terrace to a peaceful, well-maintained garden.

On the lower ground floor, you'll find a spacious kitchen breakfast room, which opens onto a sunken patio seating area that is perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style wall-and-floor-mounted units, Corian work surfaces, a dual-fuel Rangemaster cooker with an extractor hood, a large pantry, and tiled flooring.

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The primary bedroom has a bay sash window offering far-reaching rooftop views and a feature cast iron fireplace with tiled cheeks. The modern bathroom suite comprises of a panelled bath with a rainfall shower overhead, a handheld shower attachment and a fitted shower screen; a pedestal wash hand basin; a low-level WC; and a chrome heated towel rail.

The property also benefits from a practical and private home office, perfect for remote work or creative pursuits and accessed via the lower ground patio. The south facing landscaped garden incudes a sunken patio area and a neatly maintained lawn with variegated and mature herbaceous borders and gated rear access.

Viewing is highly recommended.

The nearby Old Town High Street has been described as the prettiest road in the country, with Victorian architecture, beautiful St Mary's Church, the Town Hall, cobbled streets, restaurants, public houses, and boutique shops. Gadebridge Adventure Park, with a large playground, skate park, and splash park, is also close at hand.

Hemel Hempstead town centre, with the Riverside and Marlowes shopping centres, offers a full range of facilities and amenities. And for commuters, both the M1 and M25 are nearby, as is the mainline railway station, which provides a fast and frequent service to London Euston.
