Detached house for sale in High Street, Tring HP23

Nestled within the heart of the historic market town of Tring, Hunters are delighted to market this truly beautiful detached five bedroom period family home. Originally part of the Rothschild Estate and dating back some 200 years or so, the property has a varied history over the years.

The house itself really has to be viewed to appreciate the ambience and the versatility of the accommodation.

Conveniently situated in the centre of Tring and positioned away from the road, this residence presents itself with the advantage of driveway parking for multiple vehicles. The house features a spacious lounge adorned with an open fireplace and built-in bookshelves, alongside a distinct family room equipped with a cast iron log burner. A contemporary kitchen dining room, which seamlessly blends elegance and functionality, is complemented by a garden room that provides access to the outdoor garden space.
