Location

Piccotts End is a small and historic village, which enjoys a lovely rural setting within the Gade Valley. The area offers the best-of-both-worlds setting being close to the Chiltern Hills yet is under three miles from a mainline station with 25-minute fast commuter services to London Euston. Hemel Hempstead old town is about half a mile to the south, whilst the vibrant market town of Berkhamsted is five miles to the west. Both towns offer a comprehensive range of restaurants, high street and boutique shops, with a large Waitrose and Marks and Spencer food store available in Berkhamsted. Popular schools, both private and comprehensive, include Berkhamsted School, Hemel Hepstead School, Lockers Park and Beechwood Park to name but a few. Road communications are excellent, with fast access to the M1, M25 and A41.
