An award-winning grade II listed home has been put on the market for more than a £1 million.
Frogmore House in the Lower High Street, Watford is being sold as a five-bedroom detached house via auction with a guide price of £1,260,000.
According to Connells, who is listing the property, the building has original features, five reception rooms and one bathroom.
Secure parking and a basement also come with the property.
The 300-year-old home near Bushey Arches was refurbished at a cost of £2 million in 2019.
When Watford Borough Council passed plans in November 2017 for 92 flats and a Lidl supermarket, it came with the condition that Frogmore House was restored.
Since the regeneration, it has been used as office space.
Built in 1716, the building was used as residential accommodation but fell into despair during the 1970s, and by the 1990s it was identified as a building at risk.

The whole of Frogmore House, except the single-storey rear extension added later, has been retained and the historical and architectural value of the building preserved.
Following the restoration, it received ‘Highly Commended’ status in the Award for Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting category at the Georgian Group’s Architectural Awards.
