Chorleywood RoadRickmansworth, Hertfordshire, WD3 4ES

Merlewood is an attractive and substantial Edwardian residence occupying an enviable and particularly generous plot of about 0.6 acres on Chorleywood Road.

Approached from the road, the property has an appealing presence, with mature trees and established planting creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. The house itself offers approximately 2,778 sq ft of accommodation and retains the generous proportions and character associated with its period.

The accommodation is arranged to provide a comfortable and versatile family home, with a welcoming entrance leading through to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal reception spaces provide excellent areas for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, while the conservatory creates a further connection with the gardens and provides an attractive additional space from which to enjoy the surrounding grounds.

The kitchen and associated utility accommodation are well placed for everyday family life, with the ground floor further benefiting from a cloakroom.

To the first floor are five bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, providing considerable flexibility for family, guests and home working.

Whilst the property is entirely habitable, Merlewood would now benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation. This provides an incoming purchaser with an exciting opportunity to create a substantial and highly individual family home, whilst retaining the scale, character and proportions of the existing Edwardian house.

The generous plot is undoubtedly one of the property's principal attractions. The mature gardens and grounds offer a rare degree of space and privacy. Established trees and planting provide a verdant backdrop to the house, with extensive areas of lawn offering scope for landscaping, recreation and outdoor entertaining.

There is also a garage and extensive off-road parking, making the property particularly well suited to family life and entertaining.

The combination of the substantial period house, generous grounds and convenient location makes Merlewood a rare proposition. There is considerable scope for improvement and, subject to the necessary planning permissions and other consents, the potential to remodel or enlarge the existing accommodation.
