A beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended cottage in Whitwell, offering characterful living across generous, flexible accommodation. The house combines period features — exposed beams and feature fireplaces — with a standout farmhouse-meets-modern-rustic kitchen and four double bedrooms, including a principal with en-suite.
Ground floor space is versatile: dining room, snug, living room and a playroom give families separate zones for day-to-day life and entertaining. The property benefits from triple glazing and gas central heating to radiators, plus a dedicated garden office positioned to overlook the River Mimram — ideal for home working in a peaceful setting.
Outside, the large, mature, well-stocked garden provides private outdoor living, established borders and scope for landscaping or play. The village location brings close amenities — shop, tea rooms, pub and surgery — with Hitchin and Harpenden mainline stations each about six miles away for commuting.
Important factual notes: the house is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and may lack cavity insulation, the roof shows older features and image notes suggest potential damp risk in places; these would benefit from investigation. Broadband and mobile signals are average locally and council tax is described as expensive. Overall this property suits buyers wanting a character cottage with flexible family space and a peaceful riverside home office, prepared to address some traditional-build maintenance and update items.
