Dundale Road, Tring, Hertfordshire HP23

Nestled discreetly within an established setting, this handsome detached home, originally constructed in the 1920s, has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully extended by its current owners. The result is a quietly confident, beautifully designed home that balances the charm of its period bones with the ease of contemporary living.

Crittall windows have been newly installed throughout, allowing light to pour into the house while echoing the architectural language of the era. Original internal doors retain a sense of heritage, while the interiors flow seamlessly across a series of well-proportioned, purposefully arranged spaces.

From the moment you enter, a sense of calm prevails. The hallway leads into a dual-aspect sitting room where views of the wrap-around gardens frame the space. A wood burning stove provides a grounding focal point, while folding doors open to unify the space with the expansive kitchen, dining and family area beyond - ideal for both quiet retreat and sociable living.

The rear portion of the house is open-plan yet subtly delineated into three areas: the kitchen is fitted with sleek, contemporary cabinetry and quartz worktops, all grounded by porcelain tiled flooring. A ‘Rangemaster’ cooker, American-style fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher are complemented by a breakfast bar, while a discreet utility cupboard tucks away the practicalities of daily life. Timber flooring flows through the dining and family spaces, with garden views ever-present and a stable door inviting the outside in.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The two principal rooms each feature elegant bay windows with built-in seating, providing quiet corners to watch the shifting seasons. One of the rooms benefits from an adjoining space, currently used as a study but equally suited to a dressing room or nursery. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms complete this level: a stylish family bathroom with bath and overhead shower, and a separate shower room - both designed with a meticulous eye for materiality and detail.

Outside, the wrap-around garden forms a lush, green space, framed by mature planting and anchored by a wide stretch of lawn. A fully insulated, double-glazed garden office, complete with power and wired internet, offers an effortless work-from-home setup. A brick-paved pathway winds its way to the front door through a charming gated entrance, while a gated driveway provides off-street parking for three vehicles.

Planning permission, granted in 2021 but since lapsed, previously allowed for a two-storey extension to create a larger third bedroom and a ground-floor WC.

This is a home where period elegance meets modern rhythm, inviting you to settle into a space where character, comfort, and considered design coalesce.
