Description

Tucked away in the idyllic hamlet of Frithsden, Brickwall Cottage is a picture-perfect Grade II listed home that marries 17th-century character with sensitive, high-quality modernisation. Once the kitchen gardens of Ashridge House, the property now sits within just over three acres of beautifully landscaped and established grounds, offering rare privacy, versatility, and charm—ideal for those seeking a peaceful country retreat, space for multi-generational living, or an equestrian lifestyle.

Inside, the main house has been thoughtfully updated with exceptional finishes, including solid oak windows, Crestron home automation (controlling audiovisual systems, Sonos, and app-based security cameras), and full-fibre broadband, exceeding standard superfast definitions—perfect for modern living and remote work. Period features such as exposed beams, original stone fireplaces, and leaded windows preserve the home’s historic character at every turn.

Accommodation includes a series of generous reception rooms, from a cosy sitting room with a pop-up TV, to a dramatic dining room with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, and a bright kitchen/breakfast room crowned by a vaulted glass ceiling. The principal suite enjoys stunning views, a dressing room, and a private en suite. Further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family or guests, including a luxurious guest suite accessed via its own staircase.

A detached annexe provides fully self-contained living space with a private wildflower garden and terrace—ideal for guests, older children, or an au pair. A dedicated garden office, fully connected with high-speed broadband, offers a peaceful and professional environment away from the main house.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the grounds include five stables, two tack rooms, a double garage, and expansive paddock land. Formal walled gardens, secluded seating areas, and a secure gated entrance complete the setting—rural yet superbly connected.

Just a short stroll away is the award-winning Alford Arms, a beloved gastropub known for its welcoming atmosphere and locally sourced fare. The thriving town of Berkhamsted lies only five minutes away by car, offering excellent schools, boutique shops, cafés, and a mainline station with regular services to London Euston in around 33 minutes.

Planning permission is in place for a striking rear kitchen extension featuring a contemporary design and a living roof—set to further elevate the heart of the home. In addition, a pre-planning application has been submitted to explore the potential of linking the main house with the annexe, opening up exciting opportunities for multi-generational living or an expansive single residence, subject to full consent.

Brickwall Cottage is a home of rare provenance and potential—rich in history, refined in finish, and ready for its next chapter.
