THE PROPERTY
This beautiful, charming, Grade II listed cottage, is located in one of Hertfordshire`s most sought-after villages, just ten minutes` drive from historic Berkhamsted.

One of eight `Ashridge Cottages`, the cottage was designed by the famous architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis OBE and built by the Right Honourable JCC Davidson in 1928 -1929. Sympathetically extended and modernised, and recently redecorated, this stunning home offers a harmonious blend of old and new, including refurbished wooden sash windows, stripped pine doors, wood flooring, and fireplaces.

From entering, the entrance hall leads to a cosy sitting room, a cloakroom/utility, and a spacious, open-plan family room which leads through to the kitchen/dining room; an attractive glass roof allows plenty of light to flood through, and patio doors open out to the rear garden.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two of which are double rooms with built-in wardrobes. The stylish bathroom is contemporary in style.

Outside, the southerly facing rear garden is delightful. Mainly laid to lawn, it has a winding pathway that leads to a summerhouse/office; useful for anyone wishing to work from home. The far end of the garden is pebbled, with a garden shed and a gate that leads to a large communal park, backing on to woodland, and complete with swings, slide and apparatus... an unexpected and ideal place for young children to play.

To the front, the property benefits from ample driveway parking.

LOCATION
The sought after village of Little Gaddesden lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, amidst some 5,000 acres of National Trust land.

Village facilities include a Church, village hall, shop and post office, an excellent C-of-E primary school, bowls club and a popular pub and restaurant.

Just four miles away from this idyllic setting, is the prestigious market town of Berkhamsted, located to the west of Hertfordshire. A highly desirable commuter town, Berkhamsted offers a wide range of shopping, from independent boutiques to national names such as Waitrose, Laura Ashley and Boots. The Grand Union Canal runs through the town, and there are many bars, restaurants and cafes creating something of a metropolitan ambiance.

The area has excellent transport links by road and rail. The mainline train station in Berkhamsted provides a regular and direct link to London Euston in a little over 30 minutes. Major road connections nearby include the M25 and the M1, while the A41 dual carriageway runs to the South of the town, providing an excellent connection to Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Tring and Aylesbury.

There is a good range of leisure facilities in the area. There is walking and riding on your doorstep, in beautiful surrounding countryside. Nearby golf courses include Ashridge, Berkhamsted and The Grove.

The area offers excellent schooling, including the independent Berkhamsted School, founded in 1541, and Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.

The larger towns of Hemel Hempstead and Watford offer wider facilities, including Debenhams and John Lewis department stores respectively. Milton Keynes and London are both easily accessible too.
