Cholesbury Road, Wigginton, Tring, Hertfordshire HP23

Set within a discreet enclave of just four substantial houses, this beautifully reimagined home offers a rare synthesis of architectural refinement and rural seclusion.

Believed to stand on the footprint of the former stables to a neighbouring farmhouse, the property offers the best of both worlds: immersed in gently rolling countryside yet within easy reach of the market towns of Tring, Berkhamsted, Wendover and Chesham - each providing a choice of swift rail links to central London.

The house unfolds with quiet confidence. A wide, light-filled entrance hall sets the tone: calm, coherent and generously proportioned. From here, the main living spaces radiate with an intuitive ease, clearly defined yet connected through a thoughtful spatial plan.

To the right, a beautifully balanced sitting room - almost square in plan - offers a versatile canvas for layout. Dual-aspect glazing, with French doors opening to the garden, invites natural light throughout the day. A wood-burning stove, discreetly placed in the corner, anchors the room with a sense of warmth, while plantation shutters introduce a refined, architectural finish.

At the heart of the house lies the kitchen and dining room. Here, traditional cabinetry, hand-painted in ink blue, is paired with crisp white quartz surfaces, forming a palette that feels both enduring and contemporary. A generous island creates a natural gathering point, while the suite of appliances, including a Rangemaster cooker and Quooker tap, reflects a meticulous eye for detail. A walk-in pantry and separate utility room complete the space with purposeful functionality.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, a more intimate family room features bespoke joinery by Neville Johnson; an integrated design that includes shelving and a dedicated workspace. Double doors open into a striking study, featuring a vaulted ceiling, three Velux windows and French doors to the garden. This is a space that elevates the everyday - ideal as a home office, creative studio or additional reception room. Beneath an electronically operated glass floor hatch lies one of the home’s most unexpected architectural moments: a spiral of stairs descends to a wine cellar, purpose-built for collectors and conversation starters alike.

Upstairs, the sense of proportion continues. There are four bedrooms in total, all generously scaled. The principal suite overlooks the front courtyard and features fitted wardrobes and a sleek en suite shower room. The guest bedroom is similarly equipped with its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a thoughtfully designed family bathroom, complete with walk-in shower and separate bath.

In a move that typifies the current owners’ commitment to design-led living, the fourth bedroom has been reimagined as an indulgent dressing room: fully fitted by Neville Johnson with bespoke cabinetry and a central island.

Outside, the rear garden is a defining element of the property - a horticultural triumph designed by a talented, RHS-trained designer. Extending to around 120 feet in width, the space has been conceived as a series of outdoor rooms, each curated for year-round interest, colour and seasonal variation.

A sawn sandstone terrace leads seamlessly from the kitchen and dining space, partly shaded by a contemporary pergola, ideal for al fresco dining and gatherings. A Victorian-style glasshouse by Hartley Botanic anchors one end of the garden, flanked by raised beds abundant with soft fruits: blueberries, raspberries, apricots and more. Mature apple, pear and damson trees add a sense of rootedness, while a secluded seating area, screened by wisteria, offers a secondary sanctuary. A wildlife pond enhances the garden’s ecological value, bringing texture and biodiversity.

Storage has been cleverly considered across the plot. A double garage with loft space and electric doors sits at one end of the house; a timber-clad log store runs the rear of the garage, while a further extended shed is discreetly positioned to the other side of the house. To the front, the driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles.

In all, the total plot extends to approximately 0.25 acres, and the property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

This is a home of quiet confidence, shaped by craftsmanship and a deep sensitivity to place. It invites you to slow down and to live with intention – a place to be immersed in nature, yet never far from the life of the surrounding towns.
