No. 1 Appletree Dell is a truly enchanting cottage steeped in history and full of charm. Originally built in the 1700s as an apple barn, the property was thoughtfully converted into a two-bedroom dwelling in 1861. In 2002, it underwent a sensitive yet stylish refurbishment, transforming it into the beautifully presented bijou home it is today. Set on the edge of Chorleywood Common, it enjoys far-reaching views and a peaceful, semi-rural setting—yet remains conveniently located for local amenities and transport links.

The property is entered via a spacious open courtyard, creating a welcoming first impression and providing a generous outdoor area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Step inside and you’re greeted by a light-filled lounge and dining room, where character and comfort blend seamlessly. A beautiful open fireplace fitted with a log burner adds a cosy focal point, perfect for winter evenings. Beyond this lies the kitchen, well laid out and functional, while to the rear of the cottage is a snug or small sitting room—a delightful hideaway to enjoy a quiet night in with a glass of wine.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, all thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the cottage’s charming layout and scenic outlook. The home also benefits from a dedicated parking space, a valuable feature in this idyllic location.

This property is being sold chain free, offering a smooth and straightforward buying opportunity for the next owner.

Adding to its distinctive appeal is a touch of music history: in the early 1980s, No. 1 Appletree Dell was rented by the now-iconic band Crowded House. It served as their shared home during their formative years, and to this day, the sellers still receive the occasional visit from curious New Zealand fans eager to see where it all began. With the entire band living under one roof, the name “Crowded House” feels especially fitting.

Full of character, warmth, and personality, No. 1 Appletree Dell is a rare gem. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a unique home with historical and cultural resonance, or a beautifully presented cottage ready to move into, this special property is not to be missed.
