Fendley House

A Rare Blend of Georgian Grace, Modern Sustainability & Country Sophistication

Tucked away within the hamlet of Cow Roast - just moments from the rolling hills of the Chilterns - Fendley House is an exquisite Georgian residence that offers over 3,500 sq ft of refined living space, including a beautifully appointed one-bedroom cottage. With origins rooted in architectural elegance and modern enhancements that prioritise both comfort and sustainability, this is a home of timeless character and rare distinction.

Set behind private walled gardens and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hertfordshire countryside, Fendley House offers a level of tranquillity and sophistication that is increasingly hard to find - and impossible to forget.

As you step into the wide entrance hall, original timber flooring and an elegant oak staircase introduce the rich character that flows throughout the home. Every space has been thoughtfully curated, blending classic features with considered upgrades.

To the front of the house, a dual-aspect air-conditioned study offers a serene working environment, while the formal dining room invites effortless entertaining beneath high ceilings and period detailing. At the heart of the home, a warm and characterful kitchen/breakfast room features hand-painted cabinetry, terracotta flooring, and a walk-in pantry - the perfect place to gather, cook, and unwind.

The adjacent sitting room, with its marble fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden, provides a refined yet relaxed setting for everyday living. A rear lobby, cellar, and ground floor WC complete the main living spaces with practicality and discretion.

A secondary staircase offers private access to the principal bedroom, creating a sense of seclusion and suite-style luxury.

A Cottage of Its Own

The attached self-contained cottage is a perfect complement to the main house - ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or private staff. With its own entrance, it comprises:

A cosy sitting room with log-burning stove - A bright and inviting conservatory - Well-appointed kitchen - Spacious double bedroom and bathroom - A secluded courtyard garden.

It's independent, intimate, and entirely in keeping with the charm of the main residence.

Step outside into the beautifully landscaped walled garden, where every detail has been considered. A level lawn is bordered by well-stocked beds, while stone paving creates inviting terraces for al fresco dining or afternoon tea. Mature planting, climbing roses, and an exceptional sense of privacy create a garden that feels as elegant as the house it belongs to.

Outbuildings include a detached home office, greenhouse, log store, and garden sheds, with ample storage for every lifestyle need.

An extensive gravel driveway provides generous parking and includes a discreetly positioned EV charging point.

Modern Living, Reimagined Sustainably

Fendley House is a rare example of a period home designed for the future. With a comprehensive suite of sustainable technologies - including solar panels, an air source heat pump, and battery storage - the property achieves impressive energy efficiency while remaining entirely in tune with its historic character.
