House For Sale £1,400,000
This picture-perfect traditional thatched four bedroom home with four reception rooms occupies a really stunning rural location on the edge of the Chiltern Hills in the sought after village of Studham.
'Woodlands' occupies a large corner plot and offers 3,042 sq ft of spacious, versatile family living with a balanced blend of both period and contemporary features as well as having scope to adapt the current layout to incorporate a separate annexe. The double garage measuring sqft could also be converted (subject to planning approval) to provide ancillary accommodation or would suit an industrious family running a business from home.
This beautiful prestigious family home is one that really needs to be viewed to appreciate both the space on offer and the fabulous established landscaped gardens that wrap around the property.
Studham is located in the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding beauty and was named in The Telegraph as one of the best lockdown villages! Despite its tranquillity the village has a real community feel with two traditional country pubs - The Red Lion & The Bell, a village hall, cricket team, village school and Whipsnade Zoo on your doorstep. If you love the great outdoors you can enjoy an abundance of countryside walks and activities including the Dunstable Downs, Whipsnade Heath and Tree Cathedral. For keen cyclists Studham is part of the route for the Chilterns cycleway.
Location - Studham is just 10 miles from Luton Airport and a short drive to both Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead for rail links into the city within 30 minutes. The vibrant High Streets of Berkhamsted and Harpenden are approximately 10 miles away with trains into the city in approximately 30 minutes. The village has the appeal to those seeking a quieter place to call home but still wanting to be accessible to all major road networks and rail by short car journey.
