Set in a semi-rural hamlet south-west of St Albans, this Grade II Listed semi‑detached cottage offers characterful living across generous rooms and large, private gardens. Exposed timber beams, an Inglenook fireplace and parquet dining room provide period charm while multiple reception spaces and flexible upstairs rooms suit family life and home working.
Practical benefits include off‑street parking, a detached garage, useful outbuilding and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — rare for a countryside setting. The property is freehold, has no flood risk, and sits within easy driving distance of local schools, St Albans amenities and fast rail links to London.
Buyers should note material considerations: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; drainage is to a septic tank; there is a single bathroom plus separate WC; council tax is described as expensive. Applications have been submitted for a solar farm on land beyond the adjoining fields — plans are available on request and may affect outlook.
This is a strong choice for a family seeking a distinctive period home with sizable grounds and scope to improve sympathetically, provided they are comfortable managing listed‑building responsibilities and septic drainage.
