This peacefully located country home exudes charm and is presented to superb level throughout, making for a great next move for the right buyer. Dating back to the 1890‘s the original cottage, which is steeped in history, has been extended across two storeys to the side, and single storey to the rear to create a home fit for 21st century living.
On entering through the front porch into the living room, the charm is instant. A bright well arranged room with ample space for several sofa‘s and armchairs. A Portland stone fireplace takes centre stage, as does the oak flooring and windows to the side which draw your attention immediately to the sensational views. Stylish double doors lead through to a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner. A large bright space with large windows to make the most of the view. The pitched roof is utilised in full to create a lovely feeling of space. There is ample space for a large dining table and doors out onto the garden. The kitchen itself is well appointed with every modern convenience taken care off. Characterful Terracotta flooring sets the tone for what is a wonderful heart of the home.
The layout offers fantastic circulation with a door back into the living room, as well as a door leading to a downstairs study / playroom. A charming room forming part of the original house. A stylish fireplace sits centre stage with bespoke cabinetry for storage either side. The solid oak wood flooring makes it a characterful room and ideal for many purposes. A key feature here is an innovative desk designed by the owner from a vintage piano, the owner would like to leave as a legacy to this sumptuous home!
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, well proportioned and all benefitting from built in storage. There is a good size family bathroom which boasts a separate walk in shower and freestanding roll top bath, really echoing the history of the home. The loft has good head height and could be converted, subject to the usual permissions.
Externally the property benefits from off street parking immediately to the side of the house, a large flagstone patio provides a wonderful space to entertain and enjoy and there is a beautifully maintained garden to the rear. Comprising lawn, shrubbery and pond, the garden sides directly onto farmland, providing picturesque and ever changing views.
The property also has a huge benefit in further off street parking (3/4 cars) and a very large wooden garage/workshop. Situated beyond the garden and accessed either by foot via a side gate or via an access road a few doors along, this really is a huge bonus. Either for parking, storage, home office or gym, there is also a parcel of land beyond which would make for a fantastic veggie patch!
The hamlet of Gubblecote is steeped in history and is even mentioned in the Domesday book. Legend tells of an infamous Witch ‘ducking‘ occurring in the vicinity in the 1750‘s with a host of stories and rumour attached that bring a colourful historical background to this peaceful place. The larger village of Long Marston is close by with its C of E Primary School, Village hall and Queens Head Public House. The pretty village of Wilstone is only half a mile away and offers a village shop and pub, as well as a farm shop with a farmhouse kitchen and cafe. The historic market town of Tring is just 2 miles away and offers a plethora of cafes, restaurants, independent shops and supermarkets.
The surrounding area offers some superb walking routes and places to explore with the likes of the Ashridge Estate, Ivinghoe Beacon, Tring and Marsworth Reservoirs and the Grand Union Canal network all within easy access of this property.
For transport links there are both Tring and Cheddington Stations situated within a couple of miles. By road, the A41 is close by providing easy access to the M25 and M1 and Luton Airport is within a 20 minute drive.
