Description

Blyth House is an elegant, 1920’s secluded country home set on a country lane, a convenient short distance from Chorleywood village, station and popular schools.
Nestling in just over two acres of private mature gardens complete with tennis court, this stunning family home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for almost fifty years.
Tastefully refurbished in 2009 and retaining many original features including a beautiful wooden staircase, this period property has also been sympathetically extended to create the highly desirable home it is today.
At the heart of this exceptional home is the cosy kitchen / breakfast room with bespoke cabinetry and a striking cherry red, dual fuel Aga. A separate laundry / utility room offers extensive storage cupboards and there’s a lovely cloakroom.
On the ground floor are three delightful reception rooms, all with enviable views to the beautiful gardens surrounding the property. A large patio with electric awning and heaters provides further space for entertaining.
The property has five charming double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and there is a well-appointed family bath / shower room.

Several attractive outbuildings, including a large-detached home office and gym, offer additional flexible spaces for work or pleasure.
