Tucked away within the town’s Conservation Area, this charming nineteenth century cottage sits quietly in Tabernacle Yard - a little-known enclave, just off Akeman Street.
Interwoven with the town’s straw-plaiting cottage industry, the house carries a clear sense of layered history. Today, its nineteenth-century fabric sits comfortably alongside modern interventions, forming a subtle and thoughtful dialogue between past and present.
Despite its tucked-away setting, the property is exceptionally well placed. The High Street, shops, cafes and restaurants are all within a short walk, while Tring Park and open countryside lie just beyond, offering an easy balance between town life and green space.
The entrance hall sets a practical tone and leads to one of the two double bedrooms, positioned on the ground floor. Generous in scale, this room features a pretty bay window with fitted storage below. From the hallway, stairs rise to the first floor, where the remaining accommodation unfolds.
Upstairs, an attractive sitting room occupies one end of the house, with a centrally positioned kitchen/dining room forming the heart of the plan. Contemporary in feel, the kitchen is fitted with cream cabinetry and wood-effect worktops, with space for a table and chairs. The bathroom is smartly finished, with patterned tiles adding character and texture, while the second double bedroom sits at the far end of the floor. Skylights to both the kitchen and bathroom draw natural light deep into the house.
While the cottage does not have its own private garden, the surrounding landscape more than compensates. Tring Park lies just moments away, offering woodland walks, open space and a sense of escape. A further advantage, and rare for a property of this age and location, is the inclusion of a garage.
This is a quietly distinctive home: compact yet versatile, shaped by its past but firmly rooted in the present. One can imagine earlier lives lived and worked here, at a slower, more deliberate pace, closely tied to the life and routines of the town and its community. Today, that same sense of belonging endures, now reinterpreted through a modern home that remains connected to its setting, its history and the life of the town beyond.
The property is offered for sale with no upper chain.
