Dancers End House is designed as an ideal setting for social events and family life.
Introduced to the market at a starting price of £5 million by Knight Frank, the Grade II-listed Dancers End House epitomizes the Queen Anne style. Constructed in the early 1700s, the house features a distinctive red brick checkerboard design under a classic tile roof. Spread across nearly 17 acres of beautiful gardens and land, with sweeping views of the nearby valley, this home is situated near the boundary of Hertfordshire, only 3½ miles from Tring and within 14 miles of the Amersham train station.
As promised, Dancers End House comes with impeccable gardens.
Spanning over three stories, including attics and a basement, Dancers End House, along with its classic courtyard of period barns and outbuildings, has been thoroughly renovated by the current owners. The renovation was completed with the help of local craftsmen and builders, shares the selling agent Edward Welton. The main residence boasts approximately 5,800 square feet of spacious and well-lit living spaces, comprising a welcoming reception hall, four versatile reception rooms, an eat-in kitchen, three complete bedroom suites, and five additional bedrooms.

The decor inside is an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic styles, offering a striking contrast between spaces like the modern kitchen and dining area and the traditional style of the reception areas and bedrooms. A notable feature is the large primary bathroom on the first floor, wrapped in a captivating green hue and furnished with a bathtub of the same color scheme.
This charming green bathroom is simply enchanting.
The surrounding courtyard has also been transformed to offer a grand barn suitable for hosting large gatherings, along with parking garages, a compact stable block, and a cozy two-bedroom cottage for guests or staff. The estate further includes additional equestrian facilities such as nine extra stalls, a tack room, and a pole barn.

Drawing inspiration from the gardens at Highgrove, the outdoor spaces at Dancers End House have been crafted with great care over time, each spot narrating its own unique tale. These spaces include a productive kitchen garden, a secluded tennis court, a formal lime tree walk, a quaint croquet lawn established by former occupants, an ornamental garden with patterns of plant beds, and calming water features, all set against the stunning natural backdrop of the region’s landscape.
