3 Bed Detached House For Sale

To call this home unique would be an understatement – it is one of Oxhey Village’s most distinguished residences. Set on the corner of Chalk Hill and the sought-after Villiers Road, its elevated position gives it an immediate and striking presence. Spanning 1,962 sq.ft (including basement and loft room), the house carries a rare sense of scale and proportion, with scope for sensitive updates that would bring a modern rhythm to its timeless character. Off-street parking and a short walk to Bushey Station (with direct trains to Euston in just 17 minutes) add layers of practicality that are seldom found in homes of this calibre. At present arranged as a three-bedroom house, the versatile plan could easily evolve into four or five bedrooms without compromising on reception space, making it a true family home with both gravitas and flexibility.

Stepping inside, the sense of scale is immediately apparent. A wide hallway sets the tone, offering a natural flow to the principal living spaces. To the left lies a generous sitting room, currently arranged as a fourth bedroom. Measuring 12’4” x 12’11”, it is filled with light from dual-aspect windows, one a near floor-to-ceiling bay. Original cornicing and picture rail lend a refined edge. Beyond, a second reception awaits; presently a dining room, its walls dressed in a bold yellow and anchored by a striking fireplace. French doors open onto an easterly balcony, perfectly placed to catch the morning sun as it traces the house through the day. The third reception, now configured as a through-lounge, connects to the kitchen. Its open proportions offer flexibility for future reinterpretation, while discreetly housing the entrance to the basement (16’8” x 12’, plus an additional store room). The kitchen is the true heart of the home, bathed in natural light from both east and south. With extensive cabinetry and integrated appliances, it balances utility with character, while patio doors provide a seamless link to the rear garden. Completing this level, a family bathroom is tucked to one side, convenient yet discreet.

A staircase rises to the first floor, where three well-proportioned bedrooms unfold. The principal suite, at 12'7" x 16'8", feels like a private retreat, with fitted cabinetry and dual-aspect windows that draw light from two directions. The second bedroom, distinguished by its rich teal finish, conceals a playful detail: a jigsaw-like staircase with open treads that leads through the loft hatch to a loft room above. Currently supported by exposed timbers, this space holds clear potential for transformation into a valuable additional living area. The third bedroom continues the home’s sense of quiet elegance, each room thoughtfully resolved to maintain cohesion throughout. A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes this level.

To the rear, a south-facing garden unfolds, perfectly orientated for all-day sun. A levelled patio extends directly from the kitchen, creating a natural continuation of the living space and a generous setting for dining or entertaining. Beyond, steps descend to a broad sweep of lawn, immaculately kept and framed by mature planting – a versatile backdrop for quiet relaxation or family life.
