This luxury retreat is a delightful house in Watford, Hertfordshire, featuring an open fire, an enclosed garden and off-road parking for three cars.
Suited to families, friends and business travellers, with room for up to six guests, this well-positioned base combines sociable spaces with useful links towards London and the surrounding area.
Step inside and follow the aroma of freshly brewed coffee into the well-equipped kitchen, where the induction hob, electric oven and generous refrigeration make light work of everything from quick breakfasts to family suppers.
Carry plates through to the living/dining room and gather together for food, conversation and plans for the following day.
When evening draws in, light the open fire and settle around the television, or bring out the board games for a little friendly competition.
The sofa bed provides an additional sleeping option when night falls.
Upstairs, choose between a double bedroom and a twin, an arrangement that works especially well for families or colleagues sharing the property.

Outside, the enclosed garden brings a welcome change of scene, with a patio for drinks in the open air and a lawn where younger guests can spend time between excursions.
