House For Sale £1,850,000
This delightful cottage built in the late 17th century is everything a chocolate box dreams of – roses round the door, beams, fireplaces and a fabulous, separate, barn conversion.
The vast amount of space is all true to this property’s original olde-worlde style while sensitively providing all mod cons – meaning what is on offer is a home beyond most buyers’ imaginations
Colourful and characterful, there are so many interesting features to make this a unique opportunity to live in what could almost be regal splendour – from the capacious gated driveway to the half acre of mature and private grounds.
Situated in a popular residential area, the house offers interesting shapes and accessories such as wooden beams and flooring, original fireplaces, farmhouse style features and a tastefully converted self-contained one-bedroom annexe – perfect for guests, BnB or a relative who needs their own space.
If the house could be seen from the kerb it would undoubtedly attract constant attention. However, it is hidden from the road behind mature planting and at the end of a large driveway suitable for parking many vehicles.
The large downstairs reception areas – an extensive living room, separate dining room and large study – provide space for almost any occasion, whether general family life or celebrations and parties.
The stunning farmhouse kitchen is fitted with highly suitable fittings and appliances including an Aga cooker, totally in keeping with the overall style of the property. It also comes with a pantry, utility room and lobby for even more space – plus a downstairs bathroom for added convenience.
Access to the outside area to the rear is through double doors from the dining room and utility room – leading to a highly maintained garden area with mature planting and secluded lawn patio, all of which benefit from a beautifully crafted hedge and well-established trees.
The barn annexe within the half acre of grounds offers a bedroom and spacious kitchen, dining and seating area while two further outbuildings currently provide a gym, workshop and store.
Upstairs to the first floor and there are four large bedrooms of a similar style and standard – one en-suite - and a family bathroom with roll-top bath. Each continue the cottage theme and complement the overall sense of history and tradition.
The second floor provides two rooms built into the eaves, giving further space to be used according to the next owner’s needs.
Location
This stunningly attractive property is situated opposite St John the Evangelist Church in Ashley Green which is a small hamlet located between Berkhamsted and Chesham, in Buckinghamshire.
Sitting centrally on its plot and hidden from the road, its position belies its convenient location and access to a thriving community.
The position of this cottage offers ease of transport, access to a wide range of facilities and schools and plenty of open space.
Railway stations are close by – Berkhamsted is a short distance - and means direct links in and out of the area, while bus routes are plentiful and the A41 is easily accessible.
If you’re needing to find education options for children, there is a wealth to choose from whether at primary or secondary level. Primary schools include Brushwood, Greenway and Ley Hill while Ashlyns secondary has a good ofsted rating and is open to students aged 11-18.
When it comes to getting out in the fresh air at the weekend or in the evenings, there is also plenty of open space. Northchurch Common and Ashley Green are highly desirable open spaces while Berkhamsted Castle is a local attraction.
The area also offers cafes, restaurants, banks and independent shopping – with similar facilities offered in nearby towns which are easy to get to on local bus services or by road.
It would be difficult to find a property that offers much more in terms of style, charm, elegance and tradition and therefore early viewing is recommended.
