Dunstable Road Dagnall, Berkhamsted, HP4
Guide Price £550,000
Large plot, versatile accommodation, exciting potential.
Available to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this delightful detached home is a rare gem, just over 5 miles from Berkhamsted. It is now ready for a new family to enjoy its many benefits, not least of which is the enchanting garden, lovingly created and tended over the years to provide a haven of interest for gardeners and children alike.
Internally, it offers versatile accommodation, at present with two double bedrooms downstairs to the front, plus a very recently re-fitted contemporary downstairs bathroom, with two further dormer bedrooms and an en suite shower room upstairs.
A large extension to the rear now provides an ample sitting room and kitchen/dining room, both with gorgeous log burners, and the addition of a wide, welcoming and extremely practical porch is perfect for families.
The rear garden's winding paths and archways lead to its many different seating, playing and entertaining areas. As well as beautifully planted areas and various trees and shrubs, it boasts two ponds, a vegetable patch, a greenhouse, a decked area, and a magnolia tree that takes centre stage in the main lawned area, and there is even room for a trampoline too.
To the front, there is ample driveway parking. There is also a wide driveway to the rear - perfect for little children to ride their bikes in safety. It leads to a large garage - complete with inspection pit for anyone who likes tinkering with cars - and is big enough to convert to an annexe/home office/gym (subject to obtaining planning consent) if not required for cars or storage.
Perfectly located for easy access to Berkhamsted, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Hemel Hempstead, and in the catchment area for Aylesbury Grammar Schools, this unique detached home has much potential to make it even lovelier than it already is.
