Gubblecote, Tring, Hertforshire HP23

Set within the small and thoughtfully designed development of Lendon Grove, this beautifully presented five bedroom home occupies an enviable position, surrounded by open countryside, yet only two miles from the historic market town of Tring.

Built in 2017 as part of a collection of individually designed houses, Welsummer House draws on traditional rural forms, with its black featheredge boarding lending a subtle barn-like character. The result is a home that feels both rooted in its setting and quietly contemporary in its execution.

Inside, the atmosphere is one of calm and cohesion. Dark engineered oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor, paired with underfloor heating, creating a sense of warmth and continuity. The entrance hall is generous and welcoming, setting a composed tone that carries through the house.

The layout has been carefully considered. A dining room sits to the front, balanced by a study and cloakroom, while two built-in cupboards provide practical storage within the hallway.

To the rear, the house opens out into its main living spaces. The sitting room is both comfortable and refined, centred around a fireplace with a traditional surround and wood-burning stove, and with French doors leading directly to the garden.

Alongside, the open-plan kitchen and family room forms the natural heart of the home and is a generous, light-filled space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is well appointed, with quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of Siemens appliances, including twin ovens, a steamer oven, combination oven and a five-ring gas hob. A central island provides a natural gathering point, while the proportions of the room comfortably accommodate both dining and seating areas. French doors open out onto the garden, reinforcing the connection between inside and out. A separate utility room adds practicality and provides internal access to one of the garages.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged around a bright landing, each well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with walk-in shower, while a second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. All bathrooms are finished with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and crisp porcelain tiling, giving a consistent and understated quality throughout. A large boarded loft space offers further potential for accommodation, subject to the usual consents.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has been thoughtfully landscaped. A wide terrace runs the full width of the house, leading onto a lawn edged with well-stocked borders that provide colour and interest through the seasons, including tulips and alliums. A rose-covered arbour and mature planting, including pleached beech, create structure and privacy, while a wisteria adds softness and character.

The front and side gardens are equally well tended, with a cherry tree and established hedging contributing to the setting.

The property benefits from two garages: one integral, with driveway parking to the front, and a second located nearby within a small and well-kept terrace of garages, positioned conveniently to the side of the house.

There is a quiet assurance to the way this house has been designed and finished. Its materials, proportions and setting work together with an ease that feels both considered and natural. Though modern in construction, it carries a sense of traditional familiarity, sitting comfortably within its rural surroundings while offering the clarity and comfort of contemporary living.
