Spacious, renovated village home with 120ft private garden and garage.
Newly renovated five-bedroom detached house, approx 1,940 sq ft
Set at the head of a private cul-de-sac on the edge of Potten End, this newly renovated five-bedroom detached house blends mid-century bones with contemporary finishes. The entrance hall, with herringbone floors and an oak staircase, leads to a dual-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove and an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens to the garden. A ground-floor study and a fifth bedroom with en suite make flexible arrangements for a home office or guest suite.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes and there are three further bedrooms plus a stylish family bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower. Practical additions include a separate utility room with outdoor access, a modern cloakroom and a detached garage currently used as a gym. The property is freehold and offers around 1,940 sq ft of accommodation on a plot of roughly 0.3 acre.
The mature, private garden stretches to approximately 120ft with gated rear access — useful for additional parking or for creating a studio/workspace subject to permissions. Driveway parking is generous. The house sits in an affluent, low-crime village setting with good primary and secondary schools nearby and Berkhamsted about two miles away for wider amenities.
Notable practical points: the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and the original timber-frame walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect future running costs or upgrade plans. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is fairly expensive. While the renovation is comprehensive, buyers seeking ultra-fast connectivity or the highest thermal efficiency should factor potential upgrades into budgets.
