THE RIDGEWAY“The views from the property are magnificent, we can see right the way down into the valley beyond, all the way to Canary Wharf in the distance. It’s a stunning setting and yet so convenient, particularly for central London.”

A quite superb five bedroom family home featuring four reception rooms to include a stunning kitchen/dining/family room with extra height windows and bi-fold doors onto the garden, a large utility room with lots of cupboards, a living room, dining room and TV room.


Seller Insight The popular village of Cuffley is enveloped by some of the most beautiful countryside that rural Hertfordshire has to offer, but

the excellent transport links also make it very connected and convenient. In short, it is a place where one can enjoy the very best of both worlds. Situated in one of the most sought after locations on the fringes of the village, with ancient woodland to the front and rolling farmland to the back, is Number 127 The Ridgeway.

“Over the years we’ve done an awful lot to the house,” continues the owner, “which probably amounts to a full renovation. We increased the size of the property to include a study, an extra bedroom and a bathroom, and we also extended the kitchen to create a wonderfully open plan kitchen, dining and living area, which was actually featured in The Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom magazine.”

This lovely home is now very spacious, light and bright, and has an easy layout that is ideal for modern family living. During the summer the garden becomes almost an extension of the house,” says Frances. “It’s south facing, so very sunny, but there are a number of mature trees that give pockets of shade. We have various lovely areas for relaxing and dining, and the swimming pool has been something that we have all enjoyed over the years. We also have a pool bar, which is great for parties, and at the far end we have created a gym in an outhouse. The whole space is gorgeous and has given us all so much enjoyment.”

Tony and Frances say that the very spacious kitchen, dining and living area is the real heart of this home. It is a wonderfully sociable part of the house, and during the summer months bi-fold doors can be pushed back to extend the space out into the beautiful garden beyond.


“We have enjoyed having so much space both inside and out,” says Frances, “not least because it has enabled

us to do so much entertaining. We have our more traditional dinner parties in the lovely big dining room, and when the weather is warm the garden provides the perfect backdrop to family BBQs and parties.”


“This has been a wonderful home,” explain Tony and Frances, “and we have really enjoyed having so much space both for family life and for entertaining. It’s a property that has afforded us all a fabulous lifestyle and we’ll be sad to leave.”


“We purchased this house just over fourteen years ago,” says Frances, “and at that time we were looking for a property with more space, and this was absolutely ideal. It was actually only after we moved in that we

realised how desirable the location is.”


There are two en suites and a delightful bathroom which complement the five bedrooms upstairs and there is a balcony across the master bedroom and bedrooms three and four with views of the garden, local countryside and the London skyline beyond.


The front overlooks Northaw Great Wood and there is a large driveway providing parking for approximately 10 vehicles. To the side of the home is a carport.

The south facing rear garden has a paved entertaining area with a sunken ‘U’ shaped pond, a front and rear lawn and several raised flower and shrub beds. The heated swimming pool is of a good size and approximately 7 feet in depth at the deep end. Adjacent is a pool bar and BBQ area with an additional patio area. There is an outhouse that is currently being used as a gym.


Nearby villages of Cuffley and Brookmans Park offer a vast array of shopping facilities and the train stations provide direct access to London Finsbury Park, Kings Cross and Moorgate. Schooling is well catered for nearby with Lochinver House (boys), Stormont (girls), Queenswood (girls), and Haileybury just a short drive away.

Leisure facilities are abundant with the local tennis and football clubs, equestrian centres and Northaw Great Wood.
