Tucked in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this circa 1860 Brownlow cottage balances period charm with considered contemporary updates. Steep gables, cast-iron lattice windows and polychromatic brickwork give strong architectural character, while light-filled interiors and exposed beams retain authentic Victorian atmosphere.
The ground floor flows well for family life, with a cosy sitting room centred on a woodburner, a generous dining room and a contemporary kitchen with stone worktops leading to a garden room, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs is a bifurcated layout that supports multi-generational living: a principal bedroom with en suite and built-in storage sits in one wing, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom in the other; a fourth bedroom is flexible for guests or a home office.
Outside is a primary asset: an approx. 100ft front garden rich with mature planting, fruit trees and a winding brick path, plus a south-westerly rear garden that provides a private suntrap. Driveway parking for two to three cars leads to a two-storey detached annexe (converted garage) offering studio, guest or workspace potential.
Practical points: the house is freehold, has oil-fired central heating and double glazing (age unknown). Cavity walls are as built with no confirmed insulation, and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The location is rural and peaceful yet under four miles from Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local schools nearby.
