A stunning and greatly improved property steeped in local history, featuring luxurious and stylish accommodation, and nestled on the corner of the village green in this charming, semi-rural Hertfordshire location.

Buntingford 3 miles, Royston 9.4 miles, Hertford 16 miles, Baldock 6 miles, Stevenage 7 miles, A10 2.5 miles (distances are approximate).

As its name suggests, the Old Post Office Stores was previously the post office serving the village and originally dates from the 1930s. Well positioned in the centre of the village, it was later acquired by a local architect who substantially but sympathetically extended the property in 1998, keeping the existing dwelling at the heart of the design while incorporating many of the traditional features typical of 1930s properties such as its distinctive ‘Loggia’ and timber gables. Most recently, a comprehensive programme of renovation and reconfiguration to create a dramatically reimagined and spectacular family home which also features an independent annexe located in the original period building.

The accommodation in the main house is grand and benefits from well proportioned and spacious rooms which enjoy high ceilings and a light and airy feel. Tastefully decorated with a modern and contemporary edge, the attention to detail and high quality finish is consistently evident throughout. The property offers potential purchasers the rare opportunity to obtain a newly renovated property which requires no work.


Cottered is an attractive and thriving rural village located amongst the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. The village enjoys a lively and active community and the local facilities comprise a charming village green, village hall with playing fields, parish church and The Bull public house/restaurant. Local foot and bridle paths offer a wide variety of walks through the countryside and a well stocked farm shop selling local produce can be found just a short distance away.

The nearby market town of Buntingford offers further facilities such as a range of shops, local supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and pubs, as well as a leisure centre, community centre and schooling for all ages.

Baldock (3 miles away and 38 mins to London King’s Cross), Stevenage (7.6 miles away and 26 mins to London King’s Cross), Bishops Stortford and Royston (both 15 miles away and 28 mins to London Liverpool Street) and other nearby train stations provide excellent transport links to central London, Cambridge and other major towns and cities. London Luton Airport (13 miles away) and Stansted Airport (20 miles away) are also close by.
