Tucked in the heart of picturesque Albury, this country semi-detached cottage combines period character with an extended ground-floor living space. Exposed timbers and a cosy chimney create authentic charm, while the open-plan kitchen/family room provides practical everyday living and connection to the long, mature rear garden.
Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor; bedroom one benefits from built-in storage and visible beams. The house is a manageable size (approx. 680 sq ft) and sold freehold and chain free, offering straightforward purchase for buyers seeking village life with good road and rail links to Bishop's Stortford and the M11.
Buyers should note this is an older timber-framed property (pre-1900) with assumed lack of wall insulation and oil-fired heating via boiler and radiators. The plot is relatively small and parking is on-street to the front. While the cottage is ready to live in, there is clear potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise services.
This home will suit a buyer keen on character and village living — families seeking good local schools or purchasers wanting a country base close to commuter routes. The generous garden, wildlife-friendly planting and village amenities (pub, church, primary school) are strong lifestyle draws.
