5 bedroom detached house

The property is believed to date back to the 1920's and is set in an enviable position benefiting from a wonderfully mature private plot of 12.37 acres.

Offering almost 2,700 sq. ft. of well proportioned, light and airy accommodation, all rooms have garden views so that the mature plot can be truly appreciated. Of particular note is the dual aspect sitting room with open fireplace and the triple aspect kitchen with a range of freestanding units, double Belfast sink, space for a good size table, and a stable door to the garden. On the first floor there are five spacious bedrooms, a cloakroom and two bathrooms, including the master suite.

There is a detached cottage with two reception rooms on the ground floor and a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Planning consent has previously been granted for a side story extension incorporating existing detached cottage and for a stable block with vehicular access planning references: 02/02231/APP, 03/01501/APP, 04/00331/APP, 07/02466/APP. These have now lapsed.

The property is approached via a gated driveway leading to a garage and parking for several cars. The grounds are wonderfully mature being mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature specimen trees. There is a small copse, zip wire and a natural lake. The whole is fenced with post and rail and provides an ideal opportunity for the equestrian enthusiast.

Ringshall End is set in a desirable position close to the village of Little Gaddesden. The property is surrounded by National Trust farmland and includes its own bluebell wood. Opposite, the Ashridge Estate includes the Bridgewater monument; a 108’ tower, built in 1832, offering spectacular views over the estate and surrounding Chilterns’ countryside. The park itself, formerly a hunting estate of King Henry VIII, extends to about 4000 acres of beech woodland, common land and downland, now owned by the National Trust and designated as being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whilst the property enjoys a private and secluded location, the nearby village of Little Gaddesden provides a junior school, general store and the Bridgewater Arms public house. The neighbouring market town of Berkhamsted is within a short driving distance and offers a full range of amenities. The area is very well served with excellent schools for all ages. Leisure facilities in the area include multiple golf course, The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted (“possibly Britain’s most beautiful cinema…” –BBC) and Champneys spa near Tring. There is huge scope for walking and riding in the local area with thousands of acres of open countryside including the Chiltern Hills and hundreds of footpaths, cycle paths and bridleways.
