A charming 18th-century semi-detached cottage set in the conservation area of Shephall Green, this two-bedroom home blends original character with practical updates. Period features such as an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and brickwork give the house a cosy, historic feel, while a modern kitchen and shower room make day-to-day living straightforward. The property extends to about 727 sq ft over two floors and is offered freehold.
Well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a character home within walking distance of local amenities, the cottage includes driveway parking for one car and a low-maintenance paved garden with shrub borders and a summerhouse. The layout includes a sitting room, dining area, cloakroom and two double bedrooms upstairs, making for comfortable, compact living.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property has low-to-average ceiling heights and a small plot, and there is only one shower room, which may be limiting for some households. Being in a conservation area will affect permitted changes and may require listed-building or planning approvals for significant alterations. Double glazing is present but installation dates are unknown.
Overall this property offers a rare slice of local history in a walkable neighbourhood with good transport and broadband, ideal for someone wanting period character without a large garden to maintain. Factor in conservation-area restrictions and the compact layout when considering alterations or growing-family needs.
