Description

Blyth House is a wonderful home of immense character that has been enjoyed by the current owners for over 47 years and offers great family living space in a lovely country location between Chorleywood and Rickmansworth.

This delightful 1920s home was thoughtfully extended in the 1980s and combines both contemporary and characterful accommodation over two floors. The house opens into the hallway and there is great reception space. To the front of the house is an elegant dining room with double doors through to the attractive double aspect drawing room with a feature inset gas fireplace. The family room is a pretty triple aspect room and has double doors out to the garden. Without doubt the kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the house and is beautifully appointed with a matching range of stylish wall and floor units by Brookmans and features include a cherry red Aga with an electric companion and integrated appliances. A generous laundry room with fitted cupboards and a cloakroom complete the ground floor space. There is underfloor heating to the majority of tiled areas downstairs and the bathrooms.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a lovely double aspect principal bedroom with a generous contemporary en suite bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms (one with an en suite) and a family bathroom.

Outside
Blyth House stands in wonderful mature grounds and is just stunning for entertaining and enjoying the setting of this lovely home. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a feature pond with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs, fruit trees and vegetable garden.

To the rear of the garden is a tennis court and also a great outbuilding ideal as a garden office and gym plus there is a raised swimming pool and a garden shed.

The grounds are divided into a formal garden of about an acre and a paddock of the same size that is agricultural.

The house is approached through electric gates and opens into a wide gravelled driveway with parking for several cars. There is also a detached double garage with a studio above. There is also a 22kw electrical charging point.
