This is an outstanding example of a Modern house in one of the most sought-after villages in Hertfordshire. Designed in 1973 by Peter Booth, the four / five bedroom house has over 5,000 sq ft of internal accommodation and is situated on a secluded plot of over one acre in size that borders open countryside.

Booth, originally from Australia, designed a house that features large, light, open plan spaces and has numerous sliding glass doors that open up onto the pool area and lawns with views of the surrounding countryside beyond. The ground floor includes a large entrance hall, two large reception rooms, a further play room, a study  as well as a dining room and kitchen. There is also a bedroom wing with three bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The kitchen features historic beams reclaimed from a nearby agricultural building, whilst the units are original Heals. Other notable features include original parquet flooring and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Upstairs the master suite incorporates a bedroom, with wonderful views over the garden and countryside, plus a shower room and a bath room. There is also a triple-garage / workshop at the property that could be used for a variety of purposes. For more details see the floor plan.

The house is reached down a cobbled private driveway lined with silver birch trees. The house sits centrally amongst quiet and secluded gardens. The largely south-facing gardens incorporate terraces, expanses of level lawn, flower beds, rose plants and a heated swimming pool. There are superb, far-reaching views over open-countryside from much of the garden. There is plenty of space at the front of the house to park numerous cars.

Chorleywood is frequently cited as an area with one of the highest qualities of life in the UK. This is thanks to its beautiful natural setting, its wealth of independent shops and restaurants, good schools and its outstanding transport facilities. London (Marylebone or Baker Street) can be reached by train in under forty minutes and the M25 is only a few minutes drive. Chorleywood Common – 200 acres of woodland and open common land- is also a popular feature of the area.
