About this home

A Rarely Available Five Bedroom Detached Home with Exceptional Potential and Private Access to Devereux Drive A substantial five bedroom detached family home offering approximately 2,581sqft of accommodation, ideally positioned on Hempstead Road, Watford. Offering an exciting opportunity for a buyer looking to create their ideal home, the property has considerable potential to modernise, remodel and enhance, subject to the necessary planning consents. The generous proportions, detached position and existing layout provide an excellent foundation for a contemporary family residence. One of the property's most distinctive features is that it is the only house on Hempstead Road to retain access down to Devereux Drive, providing a particularly rare and valuable aspect to the property and offering excellent potential for those looking for additional access, flexibility or future possibilities. Internally, the property offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over a versatile layout, with spacious reception and family areas complemented by a utility room, garage and three bathrooms. While the property would benefit from modernisation, its existing footprint provides an excellent opportunity to create a stylish and highly individual family home. The combination of its detached position, generous accommodation, garage, utility room, three bathrooms and unique retained access to Devereux Drive makes this an unusually exciting opportunity in this sought-after Watford location.
