Set within more than two acres of mature gardens, Little Orchard is a Grade II listed 17th‑century semi‑detached house that blends historic character with generous family living. The house offers five double bedrooms across three floors, a principal suite with adjoining bathroom and dressing area, formal dining, and a large open‑plan kitchen/living space centred on a gas Aga. Period features — exposed timber frames, high ceilings, beamed rooms and two feature fireplaces plus a log burner — give the house authentic charm.
The plot is a major asset: sweeping lawns, mature trees, pond, sun terrace, patio, garage and outbuildings including a historic former schoolhouse ideal as a stable, home office or gym. The setting in Chandlers Cross delivers quiet countryside life while remaining a short drive from Rickmansworth rail links and highly regarded schools, making it well suited to families seeking space and character.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold (c.953 years remaining) and Grade II listed — this will restrict alterations and may complicate some works. Broadband speeds are very slow, so rural connectivity upgrades may be needed for home‑working. Otherwise there is no flood risk and local crime levels are low.
Overall this is a rare, historic family home on a very large plot, offering immediate liveability with strong potential for careful, listed‑compliant enhancement. Buyers should be comfortable with the responsibilities of listed ownership and prepared to address slow broadband if that is a priority.
