DESCRIPTION
This elegant period home lies at the Western end of Tring`s High Street, less than 300 yards from the town`s shops, restaurants and bars.

Dating back to the late nineteenth century, the property has a most interesting history, being the National headquarters for the Royal Forestry Society for some 40 years, until their recent relocation to Oxfordshire. Planning permission was granted in November 2013, to change the usage of the building back to residential (ref: 4/00541/13/FUL).

Today, although the property requires modernisation, it retains a number of original features including fireplaces and sash windows, while a stunning quarry tiled floor adorns the sizeable entrance hall. The living room has a dual aspect and a beautiful parquet floor.

Outside, the rear garden extends to around 60ft and beyond it lies a parking area for three/four cars, plus a detached garage. Access to the garage and parking area is via a driveway off Christchurch Road.

Unconditional offers are now invited for the Freehold.
