House For Sale £800,000
Edwardian elegance with beautiful gardens.
Description
Rose Tree Cottage dates back to 1903 and was originally one of the main farmhouses for the damson farm of the local area. Today it is an immaculately presented, double fronted detached family home, nestled in the centre of this sought-after village with convenient transport links to London and surrounding towns. A wonderful property, with an abundance of beautiful, period features, including bay windows and original fireplaces.
Downstairs, at the front of the property, there are two spacious reception rooms both with beautiful bay windows. The main sitting room is situated to the rear of the property, and boasts bifold doors out to the garden and an eye-catching corner fireplace with inset wood burner.
The good size kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, boot room and cloakroom are all positioned in the centre of the house, along with the study.
On the first floor, the split-level landing leads to three bedrooms, all of which are double rooms. The main bedroom benefits from its own sizeable en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an equally generous family bathroom. Both the main bedroom, with dual aspect windows and second bedroom have views to the front, while the third bedroom overlooks the rear garden.
Outside, the beautiful rear garden extends to approximately 170ft and is wonderfully private. There is a patio area, extensive lawn and an array of shrubs and bushes. Behind wooden double gates to the right-hand side of the property there is a generous driveway, providing excellent secure parking for several vehicles. In addition, there is a substantial outbuilding, currently used as a gym and store room, but with superb potential to be converted to a self-contained annexe if preferred, subject of course to obtaining the necessary consents. To the front of the property there is a pretty walled garden, and additional off-street parking in front of the double wooden gates.
In all, the property enjoys a mature plot of approximately 0.23 acre.
Finally, prospective purchasers with children of school age may also wish to note the property lies within a short walk of Brookmead primary school and, for older children, is located within the catchment area for the grammar schools in Aylesbury.
Location
This sought after Buckinghamshire village, close to the borders of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, is situated on the edge of the Chilterns, surrounded by countryside, but with excellent road and rail links close by.
The village lies close to some 5,000 acres of National Trust land, where Pitstone Windmill and Ivinghoe Beacon can be found.
Nearby communication links are excellent, including the A41 at Tring, which provides a dual carriageway link direct to the M25 (J20). Tring also has its own mainline train station, with regular and direct service to London Euston in approx. 35 mins.
Village facilities include a recreation ground, general store, village hall and church. Nearby towns offer a more comprehensive range of facilities from the boutiques and coffee shops in picturesque Tring and Berkhamsted, to the shopping centres and department stores of Hemel Hempstead and Aylesbury, both of which also boast multiplex cinemas and extensive leisure facilities.
Schooling is excellent. Brookmead, the local primary school, located on the Pitstone/Ivinghoe border, caters for children aged 4 to 11, and the village falls within the Grammar Schools catchment area in Aylesbury.
