Location

This sought after Buckinghamshire village is set within the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and sits close to the borders of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. The village is known for its picturesque setting and charming Tudor architecture, particularly around the village green. Just moments away are the open spaces of 5,000 acres of National Trust land, home to Pitstone Windmill and the iconic Ivinghoe Beacon.

Nearby transport links are excellent, with the A41 at Tring providing a direct dual carriageway link to the M25 (J20). Tring also has its own mainline train station, offering a regular and direct service to London Euston in approximately 35 minutes.

The village itself offers a wonderful sense of community, with a shop, post office, and pharmacy all within easy reach. Families are particularly well catered for, with Ashridge Day Nursery located in the former King’s Head building, offering childcare for babies from just a few months old. The fantastic Windmill Preschool takes children from age two to school age, and the highly regarded Brookmead Primary School caters for children aged 4 to 11. Having a nursery, preschool, and primary school all within walking distance is incredibly rare for a village of this size, making it an especially convenient place for family life.

Nearby towns such as Tring and Berkhamsted provide a wider range of amenities, from boutique shops and cafés to larger shopping centres in Hemel Hempstead and Aylesbury, both of which also offer cinemas and extensive leisure facilities.

Schooling in the area is excellent, and the village falls within the Grammar School catchment area in Aylesbury.
