The Old Farmhouse is a delightful period property which has been enjoyed as a family home by the current owners for the past 44 years.

An open plan dining room and study with central chimney breast and open fire divides the rooms, creating interest. The traditional country kitchen breakfast room boasts a wonderful flagstone floor, complemented by Shaker style cabinets with granite worksurfaces, plus French doors opening to the gardens.

Heath End is a small hamlet on the edge of Berkhamsted, a picturesque and popular historic market town situated in the Chiltern Hills on the Herts/Bucks border.
With education in mind there is a wide variety of both state and private schools in the area, including the renowned Berkhamsted School with grammar schooling available in Buckinghamshire. Berkhamsted town offers an array of formal restaurants, gastro pubs, cafés and bistros. There are also a number of retail stores in Berkhamsted, including Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, as well as independent boutiques.

The grounds and initial paddock make up approx. 2 acres and are beautifully diverse: from the paved terrace with ornamental features, rose bushes and shrubs to the area of formal lawn divided from paddock land by post and rail fencing.
