Chain-free two-bedroom cottage in Offley — compact, characterful and close to countryside walks.
Chain free freehold cottage with period character
Tucked away in the picturesque village of Offley, this two-bedroom terraced cottage blends period character with modern fittings. Offered chain-free and freehold, it will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, low-maintenance rural home with good links to Hitchin.
The interior is efficiently arranged over multiple levels: an inviting living room with fireplace, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, two bright bedrooms upstairs and a versatile basement/utility space. The cottage benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002 and an enclosed rear garden for quiet outdoor use.
Buyers should note the property is small (approximately 413 sq ft) with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and principally heated by electric room heaters. Broadband speeds are slow and on-street parking is limited. There is no flooding risk and council tax is described as affordable.
Overall this is a characterful, compact cottage offering immediate occupancy and renovation potential. It will appeal to those prioritising village life, nearby countryside walks and quick road access to Hitchin (about 10 minutes by car).
