Set in one of the Chilterns’ most desirable villages, The Coach House is a distinctive Grade II listed former barn offering dramatic vaulted living space and farmhouse character. The principal reception is a showstopper: full-height arched brickwork, large windows and a vaulted ceiling create generous light and atmosphere for daily family life or entertaining.
The house provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, a recently fitted kitchen with appliances and an enclosed garden with a large paved patio for outdoor living. A private driveway and a separate outbuilding (garage with a loft/studio) add flexibility — the outbuilding presents clear potential for home-office, studio or ancillary accommodation, subject to listed-building and planning constraints.
Practical considerations are straightforward and must be factored in: the property has Grade II listed status which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; the main heating runs on an oil-fired boiler; and there is a single bathroom. Windows are double glazed but were installed before 2002. Council tax is described as expensive. These points temper the purchase but also help explain the property’s relative scarcity and charm in this setting.
For families seeking village life with excellent access to the Ashridge Estate, local schools and commuter rail at nearby Tring, this home blends characterful, cinematic interiors with genuine adaptation potential. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the vaulted spaces, private garden and the scope of the outbuilding.
