The location

Ivinghoe is a small village at the foot of the Chiltern Hills within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the ancient wood land of The Ashridge Estate. Formerly a town with Viking origins, hence the Old Town Hall in the High Street, the village retains many of its older buildings and its 'English Village' atmosphere. On the High Street you will find the Village Shop and Post Office. There is also a Florist and Pharmacy. The quintessential village green, 'Ivinghoe Lawn', with its Village Hub is a short walk away offering a lovely family orientated space. A Doctors surgery, Curry House and larger village shop can be found in the connected neighbouring village of Pitstone.

Set within the heart of Ivinghoe village, the property itself is a moment's stroll from the popular ( and this Estate Agents's personal favourite) Rose & Crown Public House, as well as the Ivinghoe Golf Club. There is a bridleway that offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the local countryside, with a direct route to Ivinghoe Aston and Edlesborough, as well as pathways up to Ivinghoe Beacon and beyond. The famous 'Pitstone Windmill' is again just a short walk away and offers wonderful scenic views and walks to enjoy.

Brookmead is the local primary school, with The Tring School, The Cottesloe School, Aylesbury Boys Grammar School, Aylesbury High School for Girls and the Sir Henry Floyd Co-Ed Grammar School of Aylesbury within catchment for secondary education. Further amenities can be found in the market towns of Tring and Berkhamsted, both just short drives away.

For rail services, both Tring Station and Cheddington Station are just a 5 minute drive away offering regular and direct services both to London Euston and to the North. For road links, the A41 is within easy reach and will take you to the M25 in just over 10 minutes.
