Location

Sarratt House occupies arguably the best location within this sought after village, facing the village green. Sarratt is designated as a Conservation Area and an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village has a general store/post office, a garage and petrol station, along with three pretty country pubs. Excellent schooling, both state and private, is available in the area, with Sarratt having its own primary school. The nearby village of Chorleywood has a good range of shops and amenities, whilst Rickmansworth town centre provides more comprehensive facilities, including major stores and supermarkets.

Communications are good, with the Metropolitan and Chiltern Line railway station to Baker Street and Marylebone easily accessible from both Chorleywood and Rickmansworth and the main line into Euston accessible at Kings Langley. The M25 is available at Junctions 18 and 20, providing access to the national motorway network and international airports.

Description

A beautiful and rarely-available Grade II-listed Georgian home, prominently positioned overlooking Sarratt Green. Carefully restored throughout to preserve an abundance of original character, the property offers generous and elegant living space, four bedrooms (one en-suite) and delightful gardens.

This remarkable family residence is situated in one of the most desirable locations in the village. The current owners have sympathetically remodelled and enhanced the property, retaining many historic features while introducing tasteful decoration and a more functional layout.

On approach, you are greeted by the house’s charming façade: a traditional lead-roofed verandah with scalloped valance spans the full width of the property. The front garden is a mix of wild-flower beds and manicured lawn, enclosed by original cast-iron railings.

Inside, the central entrance hall leads to all ground-floor rooms. To the front is a traditional and relaxing drawing room with sash windows offering views over the Green. Adjacent lies the main living/dining room — a superb triple-aspect space flooded with light and flowing effortlessly into the kitchen-breakfast room. The kitchen has been recently refitted in a classic shaker style, featuring premium appliances, a freestanding island and ample cupboard space. The breakfast area opens via double doors directly into the garden. A separate utility room and guest WC add convenience to the ground-floor layout.

A beautifully refined original staircase, complete with moulded wooden handrail, rises to the first floor featuring four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is bright and generous, with views over the Green, a spacious four-piece en-suite and a range of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is triple-aspect, overlooks the gardens, and is enhanced by bespoke fitted wardrobes.

The exterior of the home is equally outstanding. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and planted with mature borders, lawns that lead to a summer house at the far end of the garden, and a patio area directly outside the house with a covered outdoor-kitchen — ideal for entertaining. There is also a sizeable vegetable patch, composting area and greenhouse, marrying aesthetics with practicality.

For parking and storage, the property offers a double-length garage with remote-operated electric door, accessed via an extra-wide side drive, providing parking for multiple cars or potential as a workshop given the power and lighting. Additional parking runs down the side of the house and up to the front, secured by a traditional five-bar gate.

Directions

From junction 18 of the M25 proceed towards Chorleywood on the A404 for about a mile. Just before St Clement Danes School turn right into North Hill. Continue on this road and this becomes New Road and eventually Church Lane. Turn left at the cross roads as you enter the centre of the village, and The White Cottage will be found on the right hand side two houses past The Boot.
