Description

This exceptional Grade II listed home enjoys uninterrupted views across protected countryside, surrounded by National Trust land and woodland. Formed from three historic cottages and thoughtfully unified into one substantial residence, the property offers a rare blend of heritage, privacy and lifestyle appeal.

The setting is both peaceful and practical, quietly tucked away yet within an easy five-minute walk of the award-winning Alford Arms, allowing you to enjoy village life without compromise.

Internally, the house has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to an exceptional standard. Period character sits comfortably alongside carefully considered improvements, including handmade oak doors and thresholds, quality fittings throughout, and sympathetic energy enhancements such as professional draught-proofing and discreet double glazing to the rear elevations. It is a heritage home that feels complete, ready to enjoy from day one.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile, extending to nearly 4,000 sq ft plus extensive outbuildings. Multiple reception spaces provide flexibility for entertaining, family living or home working, while the bedroom layout supports both family occupation and visiting guests with ease.

Beyond the main house, the lifestyle offering continues. A detached garden room provides beautifully independent ancillary accommodation, complete with kitchenette, bathroom, WiFi-controlled heating and panoramic countryside views. Whether used as an annex, creative studio, gym or workspace, it adds meaningful flexibility for modern living.

The grounds are equally compelling. Mature, thoughtfully planted gardens create a sense of seclusion and permanence, while extensive garaging and outbuildings provide exceptional levels of storage rarely found in homes of this type.

Importantly, the infrastructure matches the aesthetics. The house benefits from a fully alarmed security system, hard-wired CCTV and integrated fire safety measures.
Frithsden is one of Hertfordshire’s most cherished rural hamlets, prized for its unspoilt landscape and strong sense of community. The award-winning Alford Arms is just a short walk away, while miles of surrounding National Trust land provide exceptional access to walking, running and riding. Local equestrian facilities are close by, and despite the countryside setting, Berkhamsted is only a short drive away — offering Waitrose, M&S, independent boutiques, well-regarded restaurants and pubs, a mainline station into London, and outstanding schooling including Berkhamsted School.

For buyers seeking a character home without compromise, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey listed property in one of Hertfordshire’s most cherished countryside settings.
