Description

Dating back to the 1890s, this attractive Victorian house enjoys a fabulous setting amongst mature greenery yet is moments from the centre of Rickmansworth. The detached house is beautifully presented in a light, modern style, with an airy, open layout over a split-level ground floor which maximises the natural light. Some character features remain, including open fireplaces and wood floors, and the bright, neutral design presents the ideal backdrop for personalisation. The vendors have undertaken a number of improvements over the years, including upgrading the bathrooms, a new kitchen and utility room and outside landscaping, though there is still great potential for further improvements if desired.

The centre of the house is dominated by a generous reception/dining hall which welcomes visitors to a split-level space including a study, a multi-use reception room with a high vaulted ceiling, family shower room with WC and three bedrooms, two of which are en suite. There is a further en suite double bedroom above the garage, accessed from the reception room/playroom.

On the lower level there is the main living area, which comprises a stunning open plan kitchen and dining room, with adjoining utility room and a snug area with wood burner, as well as a separate sitting room with French windows opening to the rear garden.

Outside
Rasehill Cottage has a prime setting off one of the area’s most popular roads, tucked-away down a private lit driveway in a wonderfully secluded position. A generous parking area is enclosed by mature hedging, making the front aspect feel private, with steps leading down to what is technically the rear of the house, backing onto a south-facing courtyard that is perfect for entertaining. There is also an attached garage which has planning permission for conversion. At the front of the property is a manicured lawn with an integrated sprinkler system and lighting bordered by trees and a charming picket fence. A further terrace is nestled alongside the historic red brick elevations, accessed from the main sitting room and from the snug.

A path leads down from the lawn through an area of woodland. And there is access to local footpaths linking with trails along the River Chess and around the surrounding area.
