The Location

Ivinghoe is a sought-after Buckinghamshire village close to the borders of Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire. It has many excellent examples of Tudor architecture, particularly around the large village green. The village is adjacent to large swathes of National Trust land and is within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ashridge Estate has wonderful walks among its 5,000 acres of woodlands, commons and chalk downland, with incredible views from Ivinghoe Beacon.

The village is well served by a number of shops and eateries, with a farm shop, tea rooms, a post office and shop, a chemist, and a host of highly regarded restaurants in neighbouring Aldbury, Tring and Berkhamsted. The local primary school, Brookmead, is a short walk, and the house is within the catchment area of Aylesbury Grammar Schools. Berkhamsted is around ten minutes’ drive and Tring is around five minutes, both with an excellent selection of restaurants, independent shops and a cinema. Crocker’s Chef Table in Tring is worthy of special mention. A wider selection of shops are available in St Albans and Milton Keynes, both around 30 minutes’ drive.

Tring station is approximately five minutes by car and runs direct services into London Euston taking around 40 minutes.
