Spacious family cottage near village green and excellent schools.
Grade II listed detached farmhouse from 1670 with strong period character
Set in the heart of Datchworth village, this Grade II listed detached home dates from the late 1600s and combines striking historic features with generous modern living space. The double-height reception hall, galleried landing and exposed timber beams create immediate character, while a large kitchen/diner and separate family room provide practical, sociable ground-floor layout for family life.
Four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a refitted en-suite, sit above flexible living spaces. The property benefits from a substantial driveway, a garage with newly fitted remote-controlled doors, landscaped gardens and quick broadband — conveniences that suit both home and remote working lifestyles.
Buyers should note the listed status: repairs or alterations will require listed-building consent and may complicate works. The timber-frame construction is assumed to have no built-in insulation, so energy upgrades would need sensitive, specialist intervention. Council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the property's size and setting.
Overall this is a charming, large family home in a sought-after village location with strong schooling and amenities nearby. It suits purchasers who value historic character and are prepared to manage the responsibilities and costs that come with a listed, period property.
