WHY BUY THIS LAND?
A desirable opportunity for you to own a parcel of attractive pasture land within the London commuter belt. The land lies opposite characterful barn conversions and is suitable for a variety of amenity and recreational purposes or other uses subject to any necessary planning consent. Superb access is via a secure double-gated entrance that is set back from the road.
The land is situated on the southern edge of Tring, just a 15 minute walk from its bustling High Street which offers an extensive mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. It is also superbly located for road and rail links into London.
House prices in Tring are 76% above the national average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land. Indeed, the local council states that land for "small-scale 'hobby farming' and the demand for horse paddocks and ménages is on the increase, particularly on the urban fringe".
ACCESS
The site benefits from excellent access via a secure double-gated entrance that is set back from the road. A right of way is provided to other landowners over the southern boundary. Please contact us for further information.

The land lies in the historic market town of Tring in west Hertfordshire, on the border with Buckinghamshire. Its pretty Victorian High Street offers an extensive mix of independently run shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. With a long history in local speciality foods, you will still find the Charter Market taking place every Friday as well as a fortnightly Saturday Farmers Market.
In 2008 Tring became a 'Transition Town' with a vision for a better, more resilient, vibrant and sustainable local economy and environment. The friendly community is extremely supportive of local trade with residents opting to buy from local independent businesses.
Slightly further afield lie historic Berkhamsted and the large county town of Aylesbury, both offering even further retail and leisure facilities.
Tring lies within the London commuter belt and the land is well located for good transport links. The nearby A41 connects you quickly to the M25 and in turn London and the wider motorway network. Tring station provides fast and frequent services into London Euston in just 39 minutes.

LEISURE & EQUESTRIAN
Tring is a very attractive place to visit. Here you can enjoy outdoor leisure in Tring Park or visit the award-winning Memorial Garden. For sporting enthusiasts, Tring has cricket, tennis, rugby and football clubs, and swimming and sports facilities at Tring Sports Centre.
For culture-filled family days out there is Tring Natural History Museum, built in 1889 to house the incredible private collections of the eccentric local zoologist, Walter Rothschild.
Just a short walk from the Natural History Museum - and less than a mile from the land for sale - is the 264 acre Tring Park. Owned by the Woodland Trust, it forms one of Hertfordshire's most important wildlife habitats with a diverse range of butterflies, birds and plants.
Tring Park also offers popular walking routes with stunning views and includes a stretch of the 87 mile Ridgeway National Trial. The main path (the King Charles Ride) is also a bridleway.
The beautiful open countryside surrounding Tring also includes highlights such as the Tring Reservoirs, the Grand Union Canal, Dancersend & College Lake Nature Reserves, Wendover Woods and the National Trust's Ashridge Estate.
The numerous nearby golf courses provide plenty of locations to improve your game, whereas the renowned Pendley Manor and Champneys Health Resort provide a touch of pampering close by.
LAND VALUES
The average value of land has risen by 5.5% in the past 6 months.
Against a backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, land continues to be a traditional safe-haven for buyers as a hedge against inflation and value increases have outperformed the majority of other major assets including residential property.
Supply is still historically low yet demand remains at an all-time high from a wide range of purchasers, particularly from environmentally driven and lifestyle buyers. Given this continued imbalance, which shows little sign of dwindling, land values are predicted to continue to grow.
