This substantial five-bedroom family home, which was originally built in 1912, is

Rickmansworth. Extended in recent years, the

property also includes an indoor swimming pool

and versatile ranges of garages housing up to

25 vehicles.

“We moved here 19 years ago,” says Jane. “Ease of

commuting into London was critical for us at that time, so the

proximity of the house to Moor Park and Rickmansworth stations

was ideal. The M25 was also close, making Heathrow an easy run;

Luton airport was readily accessible too. There was also a good

range of state and private schools to hand. However, we were

particularly attracted to Chalk Dell House itself because it was

surrounded by green, having a field to one side and Batchworth

Park Golf Course at the rear.”

“When we first came, it was a four-bedroom house with a car port and a triple

garage to one side, and a pre-World War II outdoor swimming pool to the rear,”

continues Jane.



“We wanted to enclose the swimming pool but didn’t want to spoil the view, so we split the pool into two,” adds

Jane. “Part is now an enclosed pool with a swim jet, an electric cover and a gym area, while the other is a koi carp pond – so we still

have the view. The original changing hut makes a nice garden feature. Between the swimming pool and the house there’s a large level

lawn, which can take a marquee, and can be accessed from the house by French doors from the kitchen and breakfast room, and from

the study. There’s also a covered patio area on the south west side of the house between the study and one of the garage blocks.”
