Period charm, modern kitchen and farmland views — perfect for family life in Potten End.
Three double bedrooms with generous proportions
This attractive three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Potten End blends period character with a generous, modern living layout. The heart of the home is a large lounge/diner with an inglenook-style fireplace and log burner, creating a warm, welcoming space for family life. The extended kitchen/breakfast room is fitted to a high specification with a central island, granite worktops and bifold doors that frame countryside views and open onto the rear garden.
All three bedrooms are described as good-sized doubles, served by a single family bathroom and a downstairs WC. The property benefits from off-street parking, double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas central heating and a decent plot with pleasant views over fields and farmland — a real draw for buyers seeking a semi-rural setting within easy reach of Berkhamsted and local amenities.
Buyers should be aware this is a pre-1900 solid brick building (assumed to have no cavity insulation), so there is potential for ongoing maintenance and possible improvement works to insulation. The EPC is a C and broadband speed is average; those who need the fastest connectivity or lowest running costs may wish to investigate upgrades. Council Tax is moderate (Band D).
Overall, the cottage will suit families looking for character, space and countryside outlooks in an affluent, low-crime village. It also offers scope for sympathetic improvements to increase energy efficiency and long-term value, while providing immediate comfortable accommodation and strong local schooling options.
