Set at the heart of the highly sought-after village of Little Gaddesden, Home Farm House is a distinguished Grade II listed residence of considerable character and historical interest. Believed to date back several centuries, this handsome village house reflects the craftsmanship and vernacular architecture of rural Hertfordshire at its finest.

Constructed in mellow brick with traditional timber detailing, the house possesses both presence and warmth. Its most striking feature is the original bell tower rising above the roofline, complete with inset clock — a rare survival from the building’s former agricultural role, when it was used to call farm labourers in from the fields. Today it forms a unique architectural landmark and one of the village’s most recognisable historic homes.

The house provides generous and versatile accommodation arranged predominantly over two floors, thoughtfully modernised to combine period charm with practical family living.

The ground floor opens from a welcoming entrance lobby with cloakroom into a reception hall with wooden flooring and fitted utility area with separate external access. The principal reception rooms include a family room with bay window and open fireplace, an elegant sitting room with cast-iron fireplace and front door, and a study with garden access leading through to a dual-aspect dining room.

At the centre of the house lies an impressive triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and exposed A-frame beams. Bespoke cabinetry, a breakfast bar, double Belfast sink, four-oven Aga and integrated appliances are complemented by ample space for informal dining. French doors open directly onto the terrace, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. The property also benefits from useful cellarage.

The part-vaulted first floor comprises a principal bedroom with bay window and fitted storage, four further bedrooms and a dressing room, served by a family bathroom and separate shower room.

Outside, the property enjoys strong kerb appeal, set behind low walling and approached via a private driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached timber-framed triple carport.

The wraparound gardens extend to around a third of an acre and are laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and well-stocked borders. A raised paved terrace, summer house and garden shed provide attractive outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.

Situated within the Chilterns National Landscape and adjoining the Ashridge Estate, the property benefits from immediate access to thousands of acres of protected woodland and countryside. Little Gaddesden offers a thriving village community, while nearby Berkhamsted provides a mainline station with fast services to London, together with excellent schooling and amenities.
