Picturesque and a prime location.
Sitting proudly and squarely right in the village centre, this picturesque Aldbury house has been admired by many a visitor for its quaintness and charm; it encapsulates what people imagine a country cottage to be.
And now, for the first time in over thirty years, Old Forge Cottage is available for sale.
Chain-free, with two bedrooms, an upstairs bathroom, a gorgeous living/dining room with working open fire, a galley kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and study, it is as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside.
Lovingly maintained, there is also enough outside space to lend itself perfectly to extending, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The sweeping lawns that wrap around the front and sides, also conceal a large, private patio area. The icing on the cake is the garage and parking spaces.
Aldbury is a quintessential English village in between the quaint Hertfordshire market town of Tring and the increasingly metropolitan town of Berkhamsted. It is often used as a TV and film location because of its `chocolate box` appeal, with a duck pond, village shop, Church and two pub/restaurants located in or near the village centre. It boasts an excellent Church of England Primary School, which feeds into the highly regarded Tring Secondary School or, for those seeking private educational facilities, there is a plethora of choice, including the renowned Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, and Berkhamsted School.
The vibrant and thriving village community is another reason this village is so popular and residents seldom leave, instead upsizing or downsizing within. Nestling at the foot of the beautiful National Trust Ashridge Estate, the area is also a haven for golfers, horse riders and walkers.
And all only about 40 minutes away from London by train, with Tring station just over a mile away. The A41, M1 and M25 are all close by too. For shoppers, Berkhamsted offers an array of independent shops, or Milton Keynes, Watford and St Albans are slightly further afield.
