Key features and description

Extended 4/5-bed period cottage in Aldenham with wraparound gardens, a detached barn, off-street parking and electric gated access.

Tucked away in an idyllic semi-rural setting surrounded by Hertfordshire countryside, this exceptional and extended four/five-bedroom period cottage offers a lifestyle that is rarely available. Occupying a wraparound plot with landscaped gardens and a detached period barn, it is a genuinely unique home where character, privacy and versatility combine.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully extended to create generous, flexible living space suited to modern family life. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, opening directly onto the rear gardens, while the reception rooms balance character with comfort. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are joined by a fifth room currently used as a dressing room to the principal suite, easily reverting to a bedroom if required, along with two bathrooms including an en suite and a separate WC.

The defining feature of this home is its exceptional wraparound gardens, beautifully landscaped and offering extensive outdoor space for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.

Nestled within the grounds is a charming detached period barn, presented in excellent condition and offering outstanding flexibility as a home office, gym, studio or guest suite. Subject to consents, it also offers potential for a self-contained annexe or rental income, or could be reinstated as a double-width garage.

Off-street parking sits to the front, with electric gates providing access to further secure parking within the grounds. Positioned on the corner of Aldenham Road and Wards Lane, the property also benefits from extensive unrestricted roadside parking.

The property enjoys a delightful rural setting with countryside walks close by, ideal for dog owners, families and anyone seeking a quieter pace of life, with just a short drive to Radlett (2.9 mi) and Elstree (1.8 mi) also within easy reach for everyday amenities and local shops.

Families are especially well placed here, with Aldenham School (0.2 mi) and Haberdashers' Boys' and Girls' (0.6 mi)  Schools both a short distance from the property, placing access to some of the country's finest independent education firmly within reach.

Elstree Aerodrome (1.1 mi) is also close by, adding further character to this distinctive rural setting.
