Tucked discreetly away from the roadside and enveloped by a canopy of mature trees, Hollybush Glen sits within approximately 0.75 acre of private, leafy grounds.
Originally a modest bungalow, the house has evolved over time: extended and remodelled through the latter part of the 20th century to create more than 3,000 sq ft of generous, family-focused space. Owned and cared for by the same family since the 1980s, it carries the gentle patina of a much-loved home, yet now looks to a new custodian to take it forward once more and craft a forever home for the 21st century.
Indeed, there is great opportunity here: to remodel, refurbish, or perhaps even redevelop entirely (subject to planning consent). The potential is palpable - a canvas awaiting a fresh architectural story.
Inside, the sense of space is immediate. The wide hallway draws you naturally towards the principal reception rooms. To one side, a family room overlooks the front garden. Opposite, the study - or fourth bedroom - sits adjacent to a shower room, offering versatility for modern living.
The main sitting room, stretching almost 32 feet in length, is striking in both scale and proportion. A fireplace anchors one end, while French doors open directly onto the garden, it is a room that encourages both entertaining and quiet evenings by the fire. From here, the kitchen lies just to the right and enjoys yet more garden views.
A few broad steps lead down from the sitting room to a wonderfully generous games room - a space large enough to accommodate a full-size snooker table with ease, with French doors opening once again onto the garden, drawing the outside in.
Upstairs, three double bedrooms are arranged across two sections of the house. From the main staircase, two bedrooms and the family bathroom sit alongside a large storage cupboard on the galleried landing. The principal suite, reached via a separate staircase from the games room, enjoys a dual aspect over the gardens, and comes complete with its own en suite bathroom featuring twin basins, a shower and a bath.
Outside, the garden feels delightfully established. Sweeping lawns are framed by mature trees, where the combination of rustling leaves and birdsong provides a natural soundtrack. A patio sits ready for al fresco dining while, to the front, a small orchard marks the change of seasons. The tree-lined drive makes an elegant approach, leading to a generous parking area and a detached double garage.
Set within this highly sought-after village, the property offers the best of both worlds: country walks on your doorstep and central London just half an hour away.
But Hollybush Glen represents more than just a property; it is an opportunity to create something truly enduring. Wrapped in greenery and steeped in quiet charm, it offers the perfect foundation upon which to build a home that reflects its surroundings. One that balances heritage with modern design, and lives beautifully for generations to come.
