Toms Hill, Chandlers Cross, Sarratt, Rickmansworth, WD3

**5 BED DETACHED HOUSE WITH ITS OWN ANNEX, 1.9 ACRES OF LAND AND 2 SEPARATE DRIVEWAYS OFFERING SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL**

**SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL WITH OVER 1.9 ACRES OF PRIVATE, SECLUDED LAND**

A very unique "Ranch style" detached house, totalling some 5,000 square feet (including outbuildings), situated just off the exclusive Toms Hill, close to Warner Bros Studio in Leavesden, offering so much development potential due to the 1.9 acres it is set on.

Laid back from the road, with two separate driveways, one will find "By The Way", which has been largely extended and much loved by the current family, who have owned it for over 35 years.

The house offers plenty of lateral accommodation, spread across its 4 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as in its separate annex, which features its own bedroom, shower room, kitchen and reception space. There are also numerous outbuildings, including a "mancave" with bar area and W.C, two workshops (which were originally used as Stables), a garden room and two sheds.

In recent years, a rear paved patio has been installed to allow for al-fresco dining, and a large double garage built, with a generous reception room above featuring 4 skylights, which provides great entertaining space. It also has its own private balcony which overlooks the rear garden, and is idyllic if looking for a peaceful spot, as one can enjoy the far-reaching views of the countryside.
There is also plenty of parking at the property, enough to house 7/8 cars, in addition to the Triple Carport and double garage in place.

Unusually, the house also features two separate driveways, which would be ideal if there was a large or multi-generational family living at the property, as there could be an independent parking space and entrance for anyone living in the Annex.

The house is already so generously proportioned, with approx. 2965 sq ft (plus outbuildings including annex), however there are still so many opportunities to extend or develop (STPP)

OPPORTUNITES TO EXTEND (STPP)

GARAGE CONVERSION- convert the double garage to another annex or additional living space
GARDEN ROOM CONVERSION- one could install another or convert one of the garden rooms to a home office or gym
INSTALL A SWIMMING POOL OR TENNIS COURT- there previously was a tennis court in the rear garden
CONVERT THE WORKSHOP BACK TO STABLES- as this was what they were originally built for
EXTEND THE HOUSE FURTHER- at the rear and create even larger proportioned rooms
EXTEND INTO THE LOFT- and create more bedrooms using dormer windows

LOCATION

Although set in the heart of the countryside, the property is very conveniently situated close to numerous amenities. The nearest station is only 2.1 miles away at Kings Langley, the M25 is within easy reach, and there are many nearby pubs and Hotels, most notably The Grove Hotel, ideal for entertaining. Watford town centre is the largest nearby shopping centre, and there is an abundant choice of schooling options from both the private and state sector, including numerous Ofsted "outstanding" options. Lastly, one is only 4 miles from the famous Warner Bros Film Studio's in Leavesden.
