Summary - RIB COTTAGE, 6 CHAPEL END BUNTINGFORD SG9 9AL
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large period home with double garage, studio and south-facing garden in central Buntingford.
Approximately 2,560 sq ft of flexible living space
A rare, spacious detached character home with origins in the 17th century, offering approximately 2,560 sq ft of flexible family living in the heart of Buntingford. The house provides four bedrooms (two with ensuites), three reception rooms plus a study, and a generous kitchen/dining space that opens to a secluded south-facing garden. Practical benefits include gas central heating, main sewerage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home-workers.
Outdoor space and outbuildings are notable value-drivers. A double detached garage with electric door and storeroom above (accessed by a pull-down ladder) offers storage or conversion potential subject to planning; a detached timber studio/workshop provides immediate gym or home-office space. Driveway parking for two cars and mature, private gardens with patio create family-friendly outdoor living.
Buyers should note this is an older, unlisted period property that has been extended over time and will show some age-related maintenance and updating requirements. EPC is recorded as band E (other documents reference D), and council tax is in band E — both factors that affect running costs. The location is secluded yet central within a small town and is close to local shops, schools and rail links, but local crime is reported as above average.
Offered chain free, this property suits a family seeking character, space and conversion potential, or a buyer wanting an established home with scope to modernise. The combination of size, outbuildings and central small‑town setting makes it especially appealing to those who value privacy without isolation.
