Tucked away down a quiet cul-de-sac yet just a few minutes' walk from Hemel Hempstead and Apsley town centres and Hemel mainline station, its location is so convenient for shopping and commuting. and with its garden backing on to the rivers Gade and Bulbourne (where the two waters meet) and nearby walks across Boxmoor and beside the canal, it offers the best of both town and countryside living.

The stylish front door sets the tone for what you'll find inside. The extension and renovation has been cleverly, lovingly and tastefully undertaken to provide the kind of living space that buyers love. The bespoke wooden double glazed windows are a mixture of sash and casement.

The cosy, beautifully presented sitting room boasts a feature fireplace. Limestone-style ceramic tiles lead from the hall through to the downstairs cloakroom and open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with underfloor heating and a welcoming multi-fuel stove.

Beautiful hand made kitchen units with white quartz worktops and an island set the scene for today's informal living and dining. Bifold doors open onto the sizeable patio with ambient lighting and a water feature, thus extending the living space well into the evening. Beyond, the pretty rear garden leads down to the tranquillity of the water's edge, and has removable railings that can be added to make it child-friendly.

Upstairs, the three double bedrooms are immaculate, the master revealing a hidden walk-in wardrobe and en suite, as well as the unexpected Juliette balcony with glass balustrade that looks out onto the riverside.

Apsley village` is a favoured residential area with a delightful village feel and excellent local schooling and a good selection of shops and other amenities. For the commuter the village benefits from its own mainline railway station to London Euston, whilst it also enjoys the picturesque benefits of the Grand Union Canal and Apsley Marina
