This outstanding listing country house offers the best of both worlds: a striking period exterior, Jacobean in origins but heavily influenced by later Georgian additions, with a stunning, contemporary interior. The house is of brick construction beneath a tiled roof with red facing brickwork. It has a linked stable and garaging range, with a small white weather boarded cupola and spike finial. The three rooms above are currently used as self contained offices. The present house may well stand on the site of the original Manor of Kings Langley.The present owners have sympathetically used the period features to convert the house into a stylish and comfortable modern family home. The main entrance opens into a generous reception hall, with feature fireplace and log burner. The hall continues towards two inner halls leading to the rest of the house. The formal double drawing room offers two working fireplaces, a dual aspect with French doors opening onto a terrace overlooking the garden. At the other side of the hall is the informal family room. The large kitchen has been well planned with a breakfast bar separating the work area from the generously sized seating area. The dining room is worthy of special mention. It has original Jacobean oak panelling with a large working fireplace and capacity for a very large dining table. The room can be accessed from the hall and the kitchen. There is also a large dry cellar.A door from the kitchen leads into the western wing opening into a reception room hall which can also be accessed from the front drive affording this side of the house self-contained access. There are two further principal reception rooms on this side – one is a library/snooker room with windows on all four sides and a door leading onto the formal garden. The other room is currently used as a music room and has French doors opening onto a sheltered terrace and seating area. This end of the house also offers a generous utility room/kitchen and pair of cloakrooms. A staircase leads up to the area over the original stabling and currently provides three office rooms, however, in previous years it has been used as living space for staff.There are two separate stair cases at either end of the principal house. The upstairs accommodation comprises the principal bedroom suite in the oldest part of the property which offers a bedroom with original inglenook fireplace, a second bedroom, a dressing room and two separate bath/shower rooms. There are four further bedrooms all with their own en-suite facilities.The house is set back from the road behind a large red brick wall, approached via a gated entrance and gravel drive. The mature setting has been enhanced by landscaping that has created separate elegant gardens with a high level of privacy and a semi rural feel, rare for such a suburban location. A double garage, a garden store and three stables offer generous and flexible storage options. The gardens include a two wooded areas with several protected specimen trees, a formal garden with parterre, an extensive playing area and several terraces for dining and entertaining
