Description

This Grade II listed cottage, dating back to the 18th century, is a unique investment opportunity set on a secluded half-acre plot within the picturesque Ashridge Estate. Surrounded by the stunning countryside of the Chiltern Hills, this property captures the essence of rural living while offering significant potential for refurbishment and modernisation. The cottage features original architectural details and comprises three to four bedrooms, multiple reception areas, a study, kitchen, and bathroom, alongside a garage and driveway parking. While it currently requires updating to meet contemporary living standards, this renovation project presents a blank canvas for creating a charming family home infused with character in a highly desirable location. Historically used for kennels and cattery operations due to its tranquil setting, this property's rich history adds an intriguing element for prospective buyers. The surrounding Ashridge Estate provides an extraordinary natural environment that not only assures privacy but allows easy access to walking trails and scenic views. Local amenities are within short reach in Berkhamsted and Tring, which offer excellent educational institutions and transport connections into London. Overall, this is a rare chance to breathe new life into a historic cottage nestled among ancient woodlands while enjoying the benefits of both seclusion and community.
