Set in the Chess Valley, this Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage combines period character with flexible ancillary space. The main house retains beams, bay window and two feature fireplaces; the recently renovated barn provides a music studio/office, TV den and utility — useful for home-working or hobby use. The property sits in a secluded, picturesque plot with broad countryside views and ample outdoor space for family activities.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, off-street parking, and a sizable overall footprint (approximately 1,571 sq ft including barn). The house has been newly renovated but, as a listed building, any future alterations will require listed-building consent and may be more complex and costly than for non-listed homes. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
Notable constraints: broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working without alternative connectivity solutions. Council tax is high (Band F), and the listed status will cause planning and repair obligations. The rural location offers privacy and low crime, but mobile signal is average and local amenities require short drives to nearby villages or Chorleywood/Rickmansworth.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful country home with creative ancillary space and generous gardens — particularly families or professionals wanting rural tranquillity and a home studio. Budget for listed-building considerations and possible thermal improvements when viewing and planning future work.
