This attractive two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of Welwyn village, a short stroll from shops, pubs and the river Mimram. The house combines generous living proportions with period character: solid wood parquet floors, cast-iron fireplaces in both bedrooms, high ceilings and a useful fully functional cellar. The property is offered chain free and has gated off-street parking — uncommon for village cottages.
The ground floor is unusually spacious for its type, with a 22-foot living/dining room, a large kitchen and glazed French doors opening to a south-facing terraced front patio. The cellar is practical and versatile with light, heating and power, currently used as a gym but readily converted to an office, dining room or additional shower room. A sheltered riverside terrace and rear courtyard provide private outdoor space despite the modest overall plot.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The house dates from before 1900 and is built with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), and the glazing installation date is unknown — buyers should budget for potential insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades. The riverside position is peaceful and private, but prospective buyers should check insurance requirements given proximity to a watercourse. Overall, this cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village home or a downsizer wanting easy access to local amenities and good transport links.
