Victorian one-bedroom cottage in central Potten End
A charming one-bedroom Victorian cottage positioned in the traffic-free heart of Potten End, offered freehold and with a complete upper chain. The living room sits to the rear overlooking a fully enclosed, low‑maintenance garden and features an original cast‑iron grate fireplace that lends period character. The fitted cottage-style kitchen and compact layout make the house easy to run and maintain — a particularly practical option for downsizers seeking village life close to Berkhamsted.
A major asset is the brick-built outbuilding with power and light. Subject to planning permission it could become an annex, holiday let or home office, adding flexibility and potential income. The property benefits from recent double glazing, mains gas central heating and very low local crime — practical comforts for quiet, secure living.
Buyers should note the property’s limitations: the accommodation is modest at around 490 sq ft and the plot is small, so internal space and outdoor room are limited. The original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean work to improve thermal performance and running costs. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. Any conversion of the outbuilding will require planning (STNP) and associated costs.
Overall this is a characterful, easy-to-manage cottage ideal for someone downsizing or seeking a village pied-à-terre close to Berkhamsted, with clear potential to add value through sympathetic upgrades or an approved outbuilding conversion.
