House For Sale £1,350,000
Timeless classic, in a prime location.
Description
The Clock Cottage is one of the original properties to be built in the town’s coveted Grove Road. Dating back to 1934, the property retains immense period charm, today paired tastefully with modern style.
The property is available for sale for the first time in over 40 years and offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire such an admired home in one of the town’s most prestigious settings.
Beautifully presented throughout and occupying a glorious plot of approximately 0.38 acre, this handsome home offers accommodation that is as generous as it is versatile. Located on Tring’s eastern edge, the property is positioned within a short walk of local schools and enjoys the convenience of the train station at around 1.3 miles away.
On the ground floor, the central hallway leads to two spacious reception rooms at the front of the property; one currently used as a sitting room, the other a separate dining room. Both rooms continue through to the rear of the property where there is an adjacent family room, along with a modern kitchen/breakfast area, all filled with natural light and with access out onto the rear garden. A wonderful feature of its period - there is also a walk-in pantry. A cloakroom off the main hallway completes the downstairs.
From the kitchen, an inner hallway provides internal access to the garage, as well as to the separate utility room. To the far end of the hall, there is a double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and, up a few stairs, there is an additional room, perfect for use as a child’s playroom or study area. This part of the ground floor also has its own independent entrance from the front driveway and rear access to the garden, so would make ideal guest accommodation or as a self-contained annex suite, well suited to multi-generational living.
Ascending to the first floor, the spacious landing has wonderful views of the garden and countryside beyond, and leads to three bedrooms, along with a modern bathroom. The dual aspect principal bedroom is of particular note.
Outside, the beautifully manicured rear gardens extend to approximately 270ft and are wonderfully private. There is a large terrace overlooking the main lawn, which is bordered by shrubs, flowers and mature trees. From the meandering garden path, a garden office can be found together with a pretty summer house and childrens play house. A small gate leads through to a meadow area featuring a mixture of deciduous fruit trees together with a potting shed.
Located to the rear of the house, there is a useful garden store.
To the front of the property, accessed through double wrought iron gates, there is a substantial brick paved driveway and a garage, all providing secure parking for a number of vehicles.
The property is offered for sale with no upper chain.
