Property Details

Charming Grade II Listed Cottage in Bendish, Hertfordshire

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque hamlet of Bendish, and overlooking its green, is The Old Bakery: a beautiful Grade II-listed detached 17th-century cottage. This quaint 4-bedroom home offers an abundance of space, with a generous 2417 sq ft of versatile accommodation, on a sizeable 0.48-acre-plot, with a large front drive, and additional parking at the rear along with patio space. 

Well-maintained throughout, The Old Bakery offers a mix of charming traditional features with contemporary touches. Formed from what were once three cottages, The Old Bakery boasts the original inglenook fireplace with bread oven, which inspired its name. Prior to becoming a family home in the 1990s, The Old Bakery was the former village pub/beer house known as The Harrow, and its dining room was the hamlet's shop. The vendors have researched much of its fascinating history; this is an amazing opportunity to become part of this charming house's next chapter.

Downstairs is comprised of a large entrance hall, spacious and cosy double reception room with exposed timbers and a working wood-burning stove, kitchen, utility room, dining room with working open-fire inglenook fireplace, study, large family/playroom, and shower room. Upstairs consists of four good-sized bedrooms (the principal bedroom has a WC), and a recently renovated family bathroom. The Old Bakery is tastefully decorated throughout in heritage colours, with scope for the new owners to add their own personal touch.

Locality

The hamlet of Bendish is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), just off the Hertfordshire spur of beautiful Chiltern Hills, renowned for its chalk streams, wildflower-rich chalk grassland and prehistoric settlements. Bendish is set in an agricultural landscape within the green belt, and has a strong community spirit. It has a recreation ground, and the local area offers an abundance of public footpaths, and cycle routes for outdoor enthusiasts.

The hamlet is well-positioned, approximately 6 miles from both Harpenden and the ancient English market town of Hitchin, which offer a wide range of shopping facilities, cafés and restaurants. Whitwell and Kimpton villages, 2 and 3 miles away, also offer convenience stores and post office, pubs, GP surgery and pharmacy, café, tennis clubs, village halls, and a thriving, active local community, with plenty on offer socially, especially relating to music, dramatics and sport.

 Bendish children are known to have attended the primary schools of Kimpton, Preston and Breachwood Green, and, for secondary schools, Hitchin and Harpenden.

 For the commuter there is a fast and frequent rail service just under 6 miles away at Luton Parkway to St Pancras (from 23 minutes), from which the new Luton DART operates, servicing London Luton International Airport. The M1, M25 and A1(M) are all accessible.

“I can recommend the services of Wellington Evans unreservedly and without hesitation. James was consistently responsive, proactive and professional whilst also very personable. To us as purchasers, James felt like an honest broker between ourselves and the vendor. He worked brilliantly well with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, and the vendor, navigating a number of bumps along the road to achieve our completed transaction in around 2 months from initial viewing.”

“I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer. James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent. Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.”

“Best estate agent we’ve ever had. We went on a bit of a journey with our house and Nick was always positive, pro-active and completely open with us along the way. He and James are vastly experienced but their modern approach sets them apart. You can tell they really care about what they do. It’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people move home and doing what’s best for the situation. If you want an estate agent that’s in your corner, we’d recommend Nick and Wellington Evans in a heartbeat.”
