This month, Harry Charles Estate Agents explores the beautifully quaint village of Flaunden, one of Hertfordshire’s hidden gems. Nestled among the rolling hills and leafy countryside between the Chalfonts and Bovingdon, Flaunden offers the kind of peace and charm you’d expect from a postcard-perfect English village—with chocolate-box cottages, breathtaking scenery, and a wonderfully close-knit community.
🌿 A Countryside Retreat with Urban Convenience
Despite its tranquil setting, Flaunden is remarkably well-connected. The thriving towns of Watford and Hemel Hempstead are just a short drive away, offering shopping centres, rail connections, and all the urban amenities you might need. Nearby villages such as Sarratt, Bovingdon, Chorleywood, and Chesham add to the charm and convenience, making Flaunden a perfect choice for those wanting rural beauty with access to city life.
🍽️ Village Pubs with a Twist
Flaunden is proud to be home to two standout pubs:
-
The Green Dragon – A historic country inn that’s as cosy as it is characterful, serving authentic Italian pizzas and local ales.
-
The Bricklayers Arms – An award-winning pub with fine dining credentials. The chef has been awarded two Michelin Stars, making it a true destination for food lovers.
These pubs are more than just places to eat—they’re community hubs and ideal for relaxing after a countryside walk.
