Description
Nestled in one of England's most picturesque landscapes, The Old House is a stunning three-bedroom Grade II listed cottage that captures the essence of countryside living. Steeped in history and character, this beautifully preserved home boasts a wealth of period features - from exposed beams and original fireplaces to charming architectural details that whisper stories of the past.
Set within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the ancient woodlands of Ashridge Forest, the rolling hills of Whipsnade Zoo, and the historic route of the Icknield Way - one of Britain's oldest roads.
