Puttenham, Tring

Dating back to the Edwardian period, this unique former rectory offers stunning character features and extends to over 5,000 sq ft. Located on the outskirts of Tring yet within easy reach of Berkhamsted, it provides spacious and flexible accommodation with formal gardens and a small lake. There is also the opportunity to acquire adjoining equestrian facilities (stabling and a ménage) by separate negotiations. Property benefits from approved planning permission for a single storey rear kitchen extension with open plan aspect.

Ground Floor - The Old Rectory opens with a grand entrance and central staircase. Reception rooms include a large drawing room with an inglenook fireplace—a characterful, comfortable living space. The well-equipped kitchen features an adjoining breakfast room and utility, which lead onto a York stone terrace and garden. The dining room enjoys natural light and a feature fireplace. A summer room with separate access offers a versatile space ideal for a gym or business use.
Planning permission has been granted to extend the kitchen with a large sliding door providing uninterrupted garden views. Footings have been completed, and the plans can be viewed. The property is not listed, opening opportunities for further development and the potential to reinstate a swimming pool (previously removed).

First Floor - The first floor comprises six bedrooms. The master suite is situated at the front of the house and features a four-piece en-suite and views over the Chiltern Hills. Bedroom two has garden views and an en-suite with underfloor heating and remote-control blackout blinds. Bedrooms three and four overlook the front and side aspects. Two additional bedrooms with their own bathroom are accessible via a separate staircase, offering potential to convert to an annexe or staff accommodation.

Outside - The landscaped gardens blend formal and informal areas, with a substantial patio area, mature trees, raised vegetable beds, fruit cages, an orchard, and a large natural pond. Established borders, and a greenhouse complete the picturesque setting.

Beyond the formal garden (available by separate negotiation) lies a stable block with four loose boxes and a tack room, plus a floodlit ménage. Electricity and water supply are connected. Traditional post-and-rail fenced paddocks and a rear access track lead to the main road, offering redevelopment potential subject to planning.

Other outbuildings include a tractor shed, a large log store, and a triple garage (one bay currently used as a workshop). Extensive parking is available to the front and side, accessed via electrically operated double gates.

This versatile property offers generous accommodation, privacy, and superb entertaining space on the edge of the Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.
