This compact, characterful one-bedroom cottage sits directly on the village Green in Gaddesden Row, offering an immediately appealing rural setting and period charm. The living room features exposed beams and a log-burning stove, while the kitchen is modern and practical for everyday use. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002.
The house is small (around 436 sq ft) and best suited to a single person, couple, or first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance village home. The rear courtyard is hard landscaped with decking and paving, making outside upkeep straightforward; a large outbuilding provides useful storage but is accessed via a neighbour under existing rights of way. There is unrestricted off-street parking to the rear via a side gate onto the Green.
Buyers should note some material points: the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and heating is by electric storage heaters, so running costs may be higher than modern gas alternatives. Broadband speeds are slow in the area. The property offers scope for targeted improvement or energy upgrades rather than immediate modernisation.
Located close to Chiltern countryside and within reach of Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Berkhamsted, this cottage combines village tranquillity with accessible transport links. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising location and character over large internal space.
