This enchanting, detached, Grade II listed house has been lived in and loved by the same family for over 60 years.
Nestled away in a tiny hamlet, just 2 miles from Tring, this gorgeous home enjoys a wonderful position, along with glorious, verdant gardens which extend to some 1.25 acres.
The original parts of this achingly picturesque, thatched house date back to the 17th Century, and was later the subject of significant remodelling and extension in the second half of the 20th Century. Today, whilst it now requires some updating, the property has not lost any of its beautiful appeal; indeed it is positively ripe for a new owner to sensitively add their own stamp, restoring it for a new generation.
A wonderfully welcoming property, wandering from room to room, it is impossible not to be captivated by the plethora of period features; original tiled floors, open fireplaces and exposed beams can all be found throughout. Of particular note is the stunning inglenook fireplace in the dining room.
The property has a unique layout which is as interesting as it is versatile, and includes no fewer than five reception rooms and two staircases. Gorgeous nooks and crannies combine with fabulous, spacious living rooms and five generous bedrooms to create a beautiful and substantial family home.
Outside, the space and charm continue. The property is set well back from the roadside and mature trees ensure privacy. The gravel driveway leads to what can only be described as a property of picture-book prettiness, while the adjacent double garage provides plenty of room for secure parking. The front door is approached via a footbridge over a pretty stream, that runs from the village road past the property and through the garden beyond.
Round to the back of the house, the magic continues as a pathway, bordered by a well-manicured hedge, leads to lovingly-maintained, lush gardens which just seem to keep on going. There are many tucked away seating areas, an arbour, a greenhouse and a number of winding pathways and areas to explore.
The property is offered for sale with no upper chain.
Agent Note - we are informed by the owner that there is not a working central heating system.
