Here, you will also find a smaller laundry room with clothes drying space, a washing machine, tumble dryer, a sink and a purpose-built dog shower area. Returning through the hallway, there is a stylish cloakroom and access to the home's generous reception rooms.  Originally an office, but thoughtfully designed to offer versatility and comfort, this space has been fitted with bespoke walnut shelving, a desk and shelves that surround the TV.  This large reception room now lends itself perfectly to be a TV snug or cinema room, with a remote-control projector and full-size screen and wall mounted air conditioning unit.  The second reception is laid out as a more traditional lounge area, with a stunning almond coloured wood burning stove as the focal point.  The room offers fitted wall to ceiling shelving and bi fold doors open to the decked area and views of the garden.   The next room off the hallway is the show-stopping ground floor master suite — a truly impressive space designed for comfort and luxury. This expansive, air-conditioned room offers a dedicated seating area and a generously sized bedroom, creating a calm and private retreat within the home.  A bespoke walk-through wardrobe provides ample storage, with shelving and hanging space on both sides, leading seamlessly to two beautifully appointed ‘his and hers’  en suite bathrooms — one featuring a large double shower, the other with a freestanding bath, perfect for unwinding. Windows and bi-folding doors with stylish shutters frame the view of the garden and open onto a more secluded patio area, offering direct access to the outdoor space and a peaceful spot to relax in complete privacy.  All the rooms on the ground floor benefit from gas fuelled underfloor heating. Climbing the elegant oak staircase, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with fitted wardrobes, their own en suite bathroom and heated via gas radiators. One of these bedrooms stands out with particularly generous built-in storage, a large, well-appointed shower room and air conditioning making it a strong contender for an alternative master suite, if an upstairs bedroom is desired.  All bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the beautiful rear garden, with the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil and scenic backdrop. The annex is a superb addition to the property, providing flexible living accommodation ideal for extended family or guests. Thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout, the kitchen and dining area has a utility/pantry cupboard and the lounge is centred around a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character.  The annex includes two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate bathroom. With its own entrance and a comfortable, self-contained layout, the annex blends privacy with connectivity to the main home — making it a truly valuable asset. Step Outside Entering the property through secure electric gates, a gravel driveway winds past the house, with block-paved parking area for 2–3 vehicles conveniently located by the back door. Continuing along the drive, you'll find a beautifully constructed oak-framed garage on the right, offering covered parking for four vehicles.  Mature hedging and established trees line the route as you pass a charming two-bedroom annex and approach a substantial storage barn. This versatile outbuilding is approximately 1700 square feet, and divided into four large units, each accessed via a combination of double doors and roller shutters. Equipped with lighting, plumbing, and a kitchen area, the barn is ideal for workshops, business use, or extensive storage needs.  As a point of interest, this barn was previously approved to be converted into a 4 bedroom property, although that consent has now lapsed.   The gravel drive continues in a loop around a central planted roundabout, enhancing the practicality and elegance of the layout.  Set within approximately six acres of landscaped grounds, the gardens are as impressive as the house itself. At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal.  To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool.  This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home.

Wood Hall Estate extends across approximately 407 acres on the edge of Radlett, forming a rare private holding within the M25. Comprising a principal listed house, a wide collection of cottages and ancillary buildings, and extensive land with established infrastructure, it is an estate of a scale seldom found so close to central London. At its centre, the main house is balanced and well proportioned, thoughtfully designed to accommodate both day-to-day living and larger-scale entertaining. Reception rooms are generous in scale, with tall sash windows that draw in natural light and frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding land. Period detailing has been retained, including fireplaces and panelled elements, sitting within a more relaxed country-house setting. The principal house provides five bedrooms, with further accommodation arranged across a series of cottages and ancillary dwellings. These include a mix of two- and three-bedroom cottages alongside additional staff accommodation, offering a high degree of flexibility for multi-generational living, staff accommodation, or income-generating use. The kitchen and informal rooms are positioned to the rear with a closer relationship to the gardens, while an indoor swimming pool sits alongside the main house as a more private, self-contained element. Beyond the main house, the estate broadens considerably. A clock tower forms a focal point among a group of converted and newly created buildings, alongside an estate office that lends itself to residential, leisure or operational use, creating a setting that balances structure with openness. A number of farm buildings present further opportunities for alternative use or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents, with clear potential for income generation across the wider estate. The land itself is a defining feature. Extending to approximately 407 acres, it offers a level of scale and privacy that is exceptionally rare within the M25. With an acreage exceeding Regent’s Park and a long-standing equestrian heritage, the estate offers exceptional scope for reinstatement. Since the equine side of the estate has been wound down, a number of former stable and barn buildings have been repurposed and are currently let, generating a significant income stream, which could be further enhanced by an incoming purchaser. Historically, the grounds also formed part of a traditional shooting estate, with potential for this to be revived. Holdings of this scale within the M25 are exceedingly rare, presenting a compelling opportunity. Despite its seclusion, the estate is well connected. Radlett station provides direct services to St Pancras International in around 25 minutes, placing both the City and the West End within easy reach. The property lies approximately 14 miles from central London, with the M25 and M1 nearby.

The planners have also explored various options to make the dwelling larger and to not knock down the existing garages which can be discussed but would be for the new owner to obtain permission once completed and are the new legal owners.
