Puttenham Court, Tring, HP23

This charming barn conversion dating back to the early 1800's is situated in a peaceful rural location surrounded by open farmland in the hamlet of Puttenham. It was converted approximately 20 years ago by renowned local builders, Living Heritage. Entering the property through the oak and glazed doorway, the charm of this versatile family home is immediately apparent with a striking solid oak sweeping staircase and galleried landing. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with tiled flooring, granite worktops, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, range-style cooker and French doors open to the beautifully landscaped rear gardens. There is also a utility room with an integrated washing machine and space for a dryer. The generous sitting room features a herringbone brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, oak flooring, French doors to the front garden and arrow-slit masonry windows to the rear. Beyond is a double bedroom which could also be used as a study or family room. Stairs rise from here to the principal bedroom with exposed timber beams and the conservation Velux windows offer beautiful views across the countryside. A dressing area leads to an en suite bathroom with separate shower and underfloor heating. The main staircase rises from entrance hall to two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with an Adelphi washbasin, tiled flooring and underfloor heating.
