Description
Tucked away in the quiet rural setting of Chandlers Cross, Potten Farm House is a unique and character-filled period property with plenty to offer.
Sitting on a generous 1.138-acre plot, this four-bedroom home blends historical charm with the comforts of modern country living all just a short drive from central Watford and with excellent connections to London.
As you step inside, the spacious reception hall gives a warm welcome. One of the standout spaces is the sitting room, complete with a striking Inglenook fireplace that’s over 500 years old a genuine nod to the property's heritage. Just off the sitting room is the formal dining room, which opens straight out onto the garden via double doors, ideal for both entertaining and relaxed evenings at home. The kitchen, accessed through an inner hallway, is well-equipped and leads to a handy utility room and a ground floor shower room. At the rear of the house, a bright family room with vaulted ceilings and large windows looks out over both the front and back gardens, bringing a contemporary feel to this otherwise traditional home.
Upstairs, you'll find four good-sized bedrooms, two of which include built-in storage, plus a family bathroom.
Outside
Outside, the gardens are a real highlight beautifully kept, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and well-stocked borders offering both privacy and charm. A traditional well adds a touch of character. There are two kennel buildings that up until recently were operating as a successful dog boarding establishment, licensed for 55 dogs, provide potential for other uses such as a home office or annex (subject to planning). The gravel driveway offers parking for several vehicles and is in keeping with the rural setting.
Potten Farm House is more than just a home it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy a slice of history in a peaceful countryside location, with the space and potential to make it your own.
