Description

Merlins is a very substantial 1960’s style detached house situated in a prestigious location in the exclusive Loudwater and Croxley Green borders. Merlins is set within a mature landscaped plot which has the benefit of additional lightly wooded paddock space. The name originated from a former owner fighter pilot who flew Merlin fighter planes in WW2. The extensive grounds were originally a Rose Nursery. The current accommodation is homely and versatile, the property offers enormous potential to create a stunning family home in a peaceful location but just minutes from local shops, the Green and easy access to stations and motorway network. This lovely house offers 3363 sq ft of living space with three reception rooms, a conservatory and four very well proportioned bedrooms, the master with en-suite bathroom. Additional benefits include swimming pool, dedicated wine cellar, two acre garden plus a two acre paddock, extensive greenhouses and workshop. A winding driveway with gated entrance leads from Sarratt Road along the north eastern boundary into a driveway. This driveway serves a double garage and a workshop as well as access to the paddocks. The main front entrance opens into a spacious welcoming hallway and affords easy access to all main living accommodation and a farmhouse style kitchen. Most of these rooms have lovely views over the south west facing gardens and grounds. The house sits just off Sarratt Road and just beyond The Green and it affords easy access to London via Rickmansworth and Croxley Stations with the Metropolitan line into Baker Street and Chiltern line into Marylebone.

The main bedroom with double aspect views of the gardens has an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a door into an en-suite bathroom with corner bath, WC and wash basin. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are all accessed off the main hallway and have easy access to the family bathroom which has a door off the main hallway and is fitted with a bathroom suite and offers a bath, corner shower, a pedestal basin, pedestal basin and a towel radiator. There is a separate WC off the main entrance hall. A gas boiler wall mounted in a hall cupboard provides central heating via radiators and hot water via a hot storage tank. Most of the windows are UPVC frames with double glazing.

The secluded and very extensive gardens have a south west aspect and the full width paved patio adjacent to the property has direct access from several rooms and leads onto the main lawns and access to the swimming pool. There is gated access on the northern boundary into a fully fenced paddock with open area of grass and groupings of low level trees. The garden has secure fenced boundaries and the paddock is adjacent to farm fields at the rear. There is a public right of way through the paddock. The area is well resourced with excellent state and private schools as well as extensive leisure facilities, gastro pubs and good local shopping.
