Secured behind electric gates on one of Elstree’s most prestigious avenues, approached via a sweeping carriage driveway, High Carrs is a 5,5000 sqft detached Edwardian family home with six bedrooms, five bathrooms and seven reception rooms, nestled amongst private landscaped gardens. Sympathetic yet modern and contemporary extensions complement the architectural elements from an original 1905 home, that has been meticulously renovated throughout by the current owners.

At ground floor level a welcoming entrance hall flows through to the kitchen dining room, where you can enjoy meals perched over the landscaped gardens. The kitchen is bespoke and hand built, worktops are granite and oak, there is a Falcon range cooker and integrated appliances including a wine cooler and Quooker tap. Underfloor heating beneath a flagstone floor runs through from here into to a large pantry/utility room and then on to the integral double garage.

The other reception rooms at this level include the library, a formal dining room, family/TV room and a contemporary reception room with feature fireplace, partially vaulted ceiling and Cantifix sliding door that provides access to a raised terrace.

Then at garden level there is a grand cinema room, a wine store and an additional reception room repurposed as the gym.

At first floor level there are four bedroom suites, all with private bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with dressing area and its own terrace, that is the most perfect setting for coffee and breakfast. There is also a separate laundry room at this level.

Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor. The largest bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and a study, children’s den or reading corner. There are hilltop views from the this floor that extend as far as St Albans and beyond.

Hidden renovations include installation of CAT 7 cabling, integrated audio systems and CCTV security.
