Set on about 2.2 acres in the peaceful village of Great Gaddesden, this detached five-bedroom home offers sweeping south-facing countryside views and genuine equestrian appeal. The main house features generous reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with an Aga, and a principal bedroom with ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and private balcony — ideal for family living and country entertaining.
A substantial three-bedroom annex with two bathrooms provides flexible space for guests, older children or ancillary income, while outbuildings include a barn, four stables and a tack room for equestrian use. The large, enclosed grounds and carriage driveway create privacy and extensive outdoor scope for riding, gardening or leisure.
Practical realities are presented plainly: drainage is by a septic tank, the house dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and has partial cavity-wall insulation, and council tax is described as expensive. These factors mean routine upkeep and potential improvements to heating, insulation or internal finishes should be budgeted for.
For families seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead, this property pairs countryside seclusion with sensible transport links and excellent local primary schooling. The plot and equestrian facilities make it especially well suited to buyers wanting space, privacy and adaptable accommodation.
