Occupying a sought-after position close to lovely countryside on Little Green Lane, Ashlea is an elegant period villa set in a spacious detached plot. The ideal family home, it offers a wealth of space inside and out, and is ideally placed to balance the tranquillity of village life with convenient access by road and rail to Central London. The substantial home is arranged over two floors with character features throughout enhanced by a modern décor scheme which complements the age and style of the house.

The versatile layout comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to an open plan kitchen and breakfast room with a central island, classic wooden joinery and ample storage, with an attached orangery that makes a fabulous light-filled dining area. Adjoining this is a utility room with space for laundry machines, plus a boot room, sauna and shower room. At the heart of the house is a dual aspect sitting room – the perfect room for big family gatherings and entertaining, and a separate study which could equally make a cinema room. Upstairs the four double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing and include two with en suite facilities, as well as a separate family bathroom.

Outside
Occupying a generous and wonderfully secluded plot which envelops the house on all sides, Ashlea is tucked away on a quiet road on the northern edge of Croxley Green. There is excellent access to surrounding footpaths and bridleways, including a mostly off-road link to the village primary school, and the village green just moments away. A private gravel driveway sweeps up to the house and provides parking for several cars and an inviting first impression when combined with the landscaped formal gardens, laid out in an attractive parterre style including a sunken seating area, flowerbeds and ornamental hedging.

The rear garden faces south and is well laid out for entertaining, including an expansive lawn, a sizeable paved terrace for alfresco dining and an outdoor swimming pool enclosed by glass safety fencing. The garden is set with mature trees including a number of silver birch, which create a wonderfully private and natural boundary. A covered seating area under a dramatic pergola looks out over a tranquil Japanese-style water feature, with seating on a slate-tiled terrace.
