Roe End Lane, Markyate, St. Albans, AL3 8AQ

The property is located along a country, no-through lane, just outside the quaint village of Markyate. Occupying a plot of 5.589 acres, The Maple exceeds the expectations assigned to traditional large houses in the countryside by offering the next owner all the advantages of country living, while residing in a modern family home that has been future-proofed by the current owners. Built with longevity in mind, The Maple is positioned upon concrete bases (ground and first floor), under floor heating throughout the entire property and cavity skirting boards to allow owners to replace and update wiring to their hearts content. Security cameras are upgradeable to smart phone connectivity, B&O sound system installed throughout the property and the recently lapsed planning permission for a single-story extension to house a hydrotherapy swimming pool.

The property comprises: grand entrance hall with doors off to storage, the downstairs WC, two principal reception rooms, dining room, fully bespoke and hand-crafted kitchen and utility room. The grand staircase leads up to the first floor where there are doors off to bedrooms one to five, the family bathroom and three en-suite bath/shower rooms. The second floor, accessible currently via a step ladder, houses two further rooms that could be considered bedrooms, as well as a galleried landing. Outside there is a large, gated driveway with electric gates and a triple garage with annexe above. The independently accessed annexe has an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, open to the bedroom. There is also a separate bathroom.
