Built in 1911 for Spencer Holland, Crossways is an extremely elegant Queen Anne Revival house which is listed Grade II for its historical and architectural importance. The principal house is finished in a soft cream render under a pitched tile roof with an attractive range of outbuildings and the old stables finished in a mellow red brick.
Internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first and second floors. Of particular note is the well-proportioned drawing room centred on an appealing open, tiled fireplace. A glazed door opens onto the terrace, overlooking gardens and grounds. Likewise, the dining room is notably light and airy with views over the gardens and valley beyond. The second floor provides good ceiling height for the secondary bedrooms or if required a self-contained apartment.
There is fibre broadband connected to the porperty
Lying high in the Chiltern Hills adjoining the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Crossways is approached through the carefully maintained and preserved National Trust Woodland.
Little Heath Lane is a charming residential lane on the outskirts of Potten End which surrounds a traditional green and church. The village includes a shop, two public houses and primary school. More comprehensive facilities can be found in nearby Berkhamsted, just two miles away.
There is an excellent selection of schools in the district including Berkhamsted School for boys and girls, St Albans School and Beechwood Park Prep School.
The village has a competitive cricket and bowlsteam whilst there are popular golf courses at Ashridge and Berkhamsted. The National Trust Ashridge Estate offers excellent walking and riding opportunities over 5,000 acres of rolling countryside
The gardens and grounds are laid mainly to lawn, divided into ‘rooms’ by clipped yew hedges and studded with a selection of mature trees including magnificent oaks, flowering fruit trees and a productive fig tree. In the spring there is an outstanding display of flowering bulbs whilst rhododendrons and azaleas provide colour in the early summer. To the south is an attractive parterre garden protected by a substantial yew hedge whilst to the west there are well stocked herbaceous borders.
The former stables are now used as a potting shed and general storage. A lean-to greenhouse completes this range on the southern elevation. Adjoining the north elevation of the house is a useful range of store rooms and there are two garages.
