Property description
Dancers End House is a most attractive Queen Anne house, believed to have been constructed in the early 18th century in red brick with a chequer pattern. With a wealth of period features, including marble fireplaces and original oak staircase, the house has been impressively renovated and has outstanding views over the neighbouring valleys and hillside. The house has elegantly classical rooms, together with flexible bedroom accommodation, with of note the decoratively plastered drawing room, panelled sitting room and large study with wonderful views.
Adjoining the house is a traditional courtyard of buildings, carefully renovated and improved by the current owners. The courtyard now provides a large party barn with a gym and kitchen, various garaging and tool/machinery stores, one with the original inspection pit. There is also a small stable block and a self-contained two bedroomed guest/staff cottage, Fig Tree Cottage.
The courtyard driveway leads to a large area of hard standing with an adjoining pole barn and a further nine loose boxes with associated feed and tack room, perfectly laid out for equestrian use.
Outside, the gardens have been designed and planted carefully over the years, providing both informal and formal areas of lawn, a hard tennis court with a very pretty pavilion, a water garden with twin rills, a topiaried garden, a pleached lime walk, formal lawns, copse and paddocks.
Dancers End House lies on the Buckinghamshire/Hertfordshire border, just outside the market town of Tring, which offers a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities. Communications are very good, with a commuter train service from Tring (3.6 miles) to London Euston in approximately 42 minutes and also Wendover station (4.2 miles) with a journey time of approximately 52 minutes into London Marylebone.
Dancers End is also convenient for the A41, which connects to the M25 (junction 21). Central London is approximately 39 miles, with Luton Airport within 25.2 miles and London Heathrow within 33.9 miles.
The area is highly sought-after due to its rural outlook and good connections to both London and the larger regional towns. There are endless footpaths and bridleways close to hand, with golf at Berkhamsted and Ashridge.
Tring itself is home to the famous Natural History Museum, with also Champneys Health Spa nearby, and Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit within an hour.
The area is perfectly placed to benefit from a wealth of impressive educational facilities. Nearby Berkhamsted offers the much sought after Berkhamsted School and Chesham and Aylesbury offer a host of grammar schools. Tring and Berkhamsted in addition, have excellent state schools.
