Swallow Cottage is a charming and characterful country residence sat on a generous plot to both the front and rear with fantastic views to both aspects. Dating back around 200 years, the property has been lovingly updated and extended creating stylish and functional family accommodation whilst maintaining many of its original features.

The beautiful features and space are clear as soon as you enter the grand dining hall with the exposed brick fireplace complete with log burner and characterful wooden beams. As you turn right, you are greeted with the spacious, triple aspect lounge boasting reading nook with built in window seat, another log burning stove and patio doors leading to the pool area. To the other side of the dining hall via a drop latch door, you enter the more modern and yet contemporary kitchen family diner. Fully fitted with a central island, ample space for a full dining table and soft seating area sat within the rear Bay window. The property also benefits from patio doors offering views across the garden and swimming pool. The kitchen itself with oak flooring throughout, also offers a 6 ring Range oven, built in wine rack, a dishwasher, and two sunken sinks. Beyond the kitchen is the office with views to the rear. Another useful addition is a utility/boot room located off the kitchen with its own entrance to the front of the property which provides the perfect access for muddy dogs. Completing this floor is a conveniently located WC.

Finally, a dry, vaulted cellar providing good head height is the perfect storage for the wine collection!

Upstairs, the impressive accommodation continues with generous double bedrooms, one en suite, and a family bathroom. The principal suite itself is a fantastic double bedroom with an abundance of space and dual aspect windows showcasing great views to countryside front and rear. The room also includes built in wardrobes along with access to a three piece bathroom with double walk in shower and dressing area.

Outside the property doesn't fail to impress. You are struck by how far set back the house is from the road giving complete privacy and natural screening. The coachman driveway offers extensive parking for multiple vehicles and the front gardens have been maintained to the highest standard. From the driveway you are greeted with a double garage with basement and ample storage above that could potentially be converted into an annex or additional accommodation (subject to all necessary planning consents). The property boasts a quiet space surrounding the pond with decked area. To the rear of the property, the South facing garden spills onto a paddock and then fields beyond with views of the Ashridge estate. The space has been broken into different sections allowing a homeowner to decide how best to utilise the expansive area. The first part of the garden has the fully heated swimming pool and private sunken patio area, ideal for hosting family and friends. To the left hand side, what once was the stabling is now fantastic storage space with power supply. There is more than enough space to store all you might need to maintain this beautiful garden, or for potential alternative use. The paddock beyond is an open space perfect for play, sports or animals.

Swallow Cottage is not just a home it is a piece of history in a fabulous setting within the Buckinghamshire grammar school catchment with easy access into neighbouring towns and train stations including Berkhamsted and Tring.
