The Common, Potten End, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

Charming detached house on a beautiful plot of about half an acre

Description

Bremhill is a charming and highly individual three bedroom period house, beautifully positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of the village of Potten End and the ever popular market town of Berkhamsted. Offering a rare blend of town and country living, the property occupies an established south facing plot of approximately 0.5 acres and enjoys truly exceptional, farreaching views across the surrounding landscape.

Lovingly held by the same owners for thirty five years, the house is presented in good order throughout and offers excellent scope for sympathetic extension or modernisation to suit a new owner’s needs. The generous plot and orientation lend themselves naturally to enlarging the accommodation, but given the location in the Greenbelt the property is likely to support an extension of up to around 40% of the current footprint (subject of course to obtaining the necessary consents).

The entrance hall leads into two well proportioned reception rooms. The sitting room is particularly noteworthy, featuring an attractive log burning stove and French doors opening onto a delightful seating area that makes the most of the garden aspect. The dining room, also enjoying views across the grounds, provides a welcoming space for entertaining. To the front of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room centres around a traditional AGA and offers a warm and practical everyday living environment. A utility room, pantry and cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three double bedrooms, all with ample natural light and lovely aspects, along with a family bathroom and an additional shower room.

Externally, Bremhill sits within one of the most picturesque plots in the area, mature, private, and thoughtfully planted with a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowering borders. The expansive lawn offers an idyllic setting in which to relax and appreciate the uninterrupted countryside vistas, a remarkable privilege given the property's proximity to Berkhamsted (approximately 1.2 miles) and the charming village of Potten End.

A five bar gate opens onto the driveway, which provides ample parking and access to the garage. The land to the front of the property is owned by the neighbouring Berkhamsted Golf Club and our clients have a lease granting access over this land from the road.
