House For Sale £1,000,000
Iconic home, idyllic village, and the perfect work/life balance.
Description
Set in the heart of one of the county's most sought after picture-postcard villages, this striking and iconic period home boasts an idyllic setting, right opposite the village Church.
Grade II listed and dating back to the 16th Century, this quintessential country home abounds with original beams to the walls and ceilings and has been sympathetically extended and remodelled to provide a larger kitchen/breakfast room and utility room, a downstairs cloakroom, and en suite to the master bedroom.
Entering the property, the lovely herringbone-style oak flooring opens into the dining room to the right and, ahead, a useful study area. From there, you have the cosiest of sitting rooms with an open fire and views to the front garden and Church. Steps then lead down to a most useful and versatile cellar room which makes a perfect TV room, snug or family room.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms - the master with en suite – plus a single bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom.
The cottage is set well back from the road, with a large front garden and driveway for several vehicles, plus a side and rear garden. There is also the bonus of a double garage, which has the potential to be converted, subject to planning consent, perhaps to a gym, annexe or home office.
Indeed, this beautiful house and its location could be ideal for anyone looking for a better work/life balance, with Tring Station less than a mile away (a lovely walk across the fields in the summer) providing quick and easy access to London, Milton Keynes and the North. With the bonus of coming home from a commute, not only to an enviable home but also to a coveted village that boasts a village pond, church, pub, shop, school/pre-school, and a thriving community and social scene ideal for all age groups, this really is a wonderful opportunity to settle into an iconic period home, in a truly wonderful location.
Location
Aldbury is a quintessential English village in between the quaint Hertfordshire market town of Tring and the increasingly metropolitan town of Berkhamsted. It is often used as a TV and film location because of its 'chocolate box' appeal, with a duck pond, village shop, Church and pub/restaurant located in or near the village centre. It boasts an excellent Church of England Primary School, which feeds into the highly regarded Tring Secondary School or, for those seeking private educational facilities, there is a plethora of choice, including the renowned Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, and Berkhamsted School.
The vibrant and thriving village community is another reason this village is so popular and residents seldom leave, instead upsizing or downsizing within. Nestling at the foot of the beautiful National Trust Ashridge Estate, the area is also a haven for golfers, horse riders and walkers.
And all only about 40 minutes away from London by train, with Tring station just over a mile away. The A41, M1 and M25 are all close by too. For shoppers, Berkhamsted offers an array of independent shops, or Milton Keynes, Watford and St Albans are slightly further afield.
