The property also falls within well-regarded local school catchments, adding to its family appeal.

A connecting kitchen and a downstairs WC complete the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, a spacious landing benefits from views across Danbury Common and leads to two further large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while the additional bedroom is served by the main family bathroom.

Externally, the property boasts a superb westerly facing garden measuring approximately 176ft in length and up to 91ft in width (STLS), including a swimming pool heated via solar panels. The existing garage could be removed to create a generous driveway while still allowing space for a new garage or cart lodge, subject to planning permission.

This four bedroom detached period home offers generous accommodation, a large plot, driveway parking and garaging, and outstanding potential for extension or renovation (STPP). Positioned opposite Danbury Common and close to village amenities and mainline rail links, it presents a unique opportunity to create a truly special home in a prime Danbury location.
