This Grade II listed 17th-century cottage on Redbourn High Street offers 1,929 sq ft of characterful living across three floors. Exposed beams, original floorboards and sash windows create authentic period atmosphere, while generous reception rooms and a country-style kitchen give practical daily comfort. The property includes a basement, detached garden room and summer house, plus a private lawned garden and secluded patio for outdoor entertaining.
Practical benefits are rare for a High Street home: gated access leads to a gravel driveway with off-street parking, and the village location places shops, cafés and local amenities within a short walk. Commuters benefit from fast connections via the nearby M1 (J9) and rail services from Harpenden to London St. Pancras.
There are some constraints to note. The property’s Listed status means external and certain internal changes will require consent, which can complicate alterations and incur specialist repair costs. The home currently has one family bathroom for three double bedrooms — buyers seeking more modern convenience may consider an extension or reconfiguration (subject to listed-building permissions). Council tax is described as expensive.
Well-suited to buyers who value history and flexible living space — families, professionals working from home, or those looking for a distinctive village residence. While the house has excellent bones and generous proportions, any purchaser should budget for listed-building maintenance and check permissions before planning significant changes.
