Jon-Paul Brampton presents...Myrtle Cottages, Bulbourne - Character, Charm & Countryside Views

the property 

Tucked away in the peaceful canal-side hamlet of Bulbourne, this beautifully presented Victorian cottage offers a perfect blend of period charm and modern functionality. With 2/3 bedrooms, including a loft conversion, and a generous 180ft rear garden, this home is ideal for those seeking a rural lifestyle with easy access to Tring, excellent transport links, and glorious countryside on the doorstep.

The ground floor is arranged in a bright and sociable open-plan layout, beginning with a welcoming hallway that flows through to a bright living/dining room with an open fireplace-perfect for a wood burner. To the rear, a stylish Shaker-style kitchen features a butler sink, range cooker, and views across the garden, with a door opening directly onto the patio and lawn.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms, both with fitted storage, and a generously sized, recently refitted shower room. A cleverly converted loft space, accessed via a paddle staircase, provides a versatile third bedroom, office, or studio space- complete with built-in wardrobes and stunning views over open countryside.

The rear garden is a real highlight, stretching approximately 180ft and offering excellent outdoor living and work-from-home potential. Two well-proportioned outbuildings, both with power, present opportunities for a home office, gym, or creative studio, while a charming wooden gazebo offers a perfect space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Whilst parking in front of the house on a first come first served basis is on offer, there is also resident's permit only parking in a gated car park which precedes Myrtle Cottages, here you can gain permits for up to three vehicles for a nominal yearly sum. Perfect. 

With period features, a thoughtfully extended layout, and a tranquil setting near the Grand Union Canal, Myrtle Cottages is a rare opportunity to enjoy village charm and countryside living just minutes from Tring's amenities and mainline station.

the location 

Nestled on the edge of the Chiltern Hills and just moments from the Grand Union Canal, Bulbourne is a peaceful hamlet on the outskirts of Tring, offering a unique combination of rural charm, historic character, and excellent accessibility. Surrounded by open countryside and towpaths, it’s a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers, while still being conveniently close to everyday amenities.

Historically, Bulbourne played an important role in the development of the canal network, with the nearby Bulbourne Works—once a key maintenance hub for the Grand Union Canal - serving as a reminder of the area’s industrial heritage. The tranquil waterway and nearby reservoirs now provide a picturesque setting and are part of a popular conservation and leisure area.

Just a short drive or pleasant walk away is the historic market town of Tring, known for its vibrant community, characterful high street, and strong sense of local identity. Tring offers a range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and essential services, along with larger supermarkets and the renowned Tring Natural History Museum, founded by the Rothschild family.

Families are well served, with access to highly regarded local schools including Goldfield Infants, Bishop Wood C of E Junior, Tring School (secondary), and nearby Grammar Schools in Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire.

For commuters, Tring Station is approximately 2.5 miles away, providing fast and regular rail services to London Euston in around 40 minutes. The nearby A41 gives easy access to the M25 and M1, making Bulbourne an ideal location for those seeking countryside living without compromising on connectivity.

With its scenic canal-side location, historical charm, and close proximity to the amenities of Tring, Bulbourne offers a peaceful yet practical lifestyle in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside.
