Jukes Estate Agents are extremely delighted to bring to market this absolutely stunning 3 bedroom extended detached property in the highly sought after Doulton Close, Church Langley.
Do properties like this come to market very often? Yes they do.
Do properties this gorgeous come to market very often? No they do not!
The current owners of this 3 bedroom extended detached property have been thoughtful & innovative in the way they have extended & designed the interior of this superior property. Such has been the detail & quality of this property that every bit of paint work (walls etc.) have been painted with paint by Farrow & Ball which as I am sure you know is just about the best paint you can buy!
A lovely entrance hall greets you as you walk through a superb front door. In the entrance hall you have access to the Lounge, the downstairs cloakroom & the absolutely magical kitchen / diner, Oh, and of course, the stairs.
IMPORTANT.. The entire ground floor has zoned unfloor heating and the entire ground floor has beautiful Amitco LVT flooring which as I am sure you know, is about the best Vinyl flooring money can buy.
The Lounge (well over 13 m2) is a good size and like the whole of this impressive property is decorated to an extremely high standard. As previously stated, there's underfloor heating and Amtico flooring. There is a large bay window overlooking the front of the property and a smaller window to the side. Therefore, there is lots of natural light.
The Cloakroom is classy and consists of a modern WC & a super circular modern hand basin with integrated furniture and a funky mixer tap.
A property's kitchen has for a long time been the most important room in a home, and with that in mind the kitchen here would not look out of place in a West End showroom. Full marks to the current owner who extended this some years ago & it is obvious for all to see that they have an eye for what to do, how to do it & then some!
The Kitchen is simply magnificent!
I have had the pleasure of writing descriptions of hundreds and hundreds of properties from one bedroom flats to multi roomed mansions.
This kitchen is up there with the very best!
Coming in at around 30 m2 (well over 300 ft2), the 120 ft2 extension made what was a 'cracker' into a space that just simply has the 'WOW' factor.
Where to begin?
The main hub of appliances consist of side by side ovens that both have warming drawers. Above the ovens is a microwave / oven combi and a coffee machine. All of these appliances are by Siemens, so top of the range! There is a 5 ring gas hob (also by Siemens). There are integrated appliances by way of a dishwasher, fridge & freezer all by Bosch (say no more!). There's that all important wine fridge and a superb composite sink & drainer with a large garden view window . There is a large Island with the most wonderful Quartz surface
The work surfaces are Quartz just like the Island and there is enough work surface to satisfy any budding chef!
There is a plethora of cupboard & drawer space and they are a stunning shade of blue. The current owners have a large 6 seater dining table & chairs in the dining area and there is ample room on every aspect for people to move around the table with ease! Above the dining area there are three skylights that all open and as you might expect, there are bifold doors that opens
to the garden that gives the illusion that this kitchen diner goes on forever!. There are downlights and a large storage cupboard that houses a plumbed in washing machine. A top of the range almost brand new Vaillant boiler is housed in a cleverly disguised corner cupboard.
As I said earlier, I have written up descriptions of kitchen / diners hundreds of times and this room is right up there with the very best! Absolutely gorgeous!
The garage (accessed form the garden has been converted into a Gym with its own radiator connected to the central heating system. However, it could easily be re configured into a home office or even turned back into a garage.
The rear garden on first glance looks to be a medium to small garden. Once outside though, it soon becomes apparent that is is a medium to large 'wrap around' garden that is fairly common with corner plot detached properties.
There is a nice porcelain patio area and whilst laid mainly to lawn and therefore low maintenance, it is a blank canvas for keen gardeners and could be landscaped and developed into a truly wonderous green space. It has high grade fencing and is quite private. There is also a good size garden shed for the all important lawn mower & relevant garden tools.
Upstairs in this beautiful property we have the 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The master bedroom is a good size double with a large window to the front of the property. It has a high grade fitted carpet as do all the bedrooms. This room benefits from a simply lovely en suite. It has Quick-Step oak flooring which is of the highest quality. There is a fabulous walk in shower, an ultra modern wash basin, a lovely WC & a heated towel rail. The en suite also has down lights. As en suites go, this is really lovely and has been very well designed and thought out.
Bedroom 2 (another double), also has a window overlooking the front of the property. There is also a single built in wardrobe.
Bedroom 3 (currently being used as a home office) is a decent size single bedroom. It has the added advantage of a window overlooking the rear garden.
The Family Bathroom is a delight! With its Quick-Step flooring and amazing Porcelanosa tiles it has a bathtub, washbasin & WC. I would suggest that a lovely soak with candles a plenty and decor to die for would be an amazing way to relax after a long day at work!
The landing is nice and also has its own window for extra natural light!
This truly is an amazing property and we believe you will struggle to find a property of this size & quality for the price that you could be lucky enough to buy it for!
Describing the property is one thing. Geographically it is located close to most important amenities..

The air quality in Church Langley is 2 (where 1 is the best & 10 is the worst).
