Affectionately known as the “Cosy Cottage,” this end-of-row Victorian two-bedroom offers characterful living in the heart of Codicote’s desirable conservation area. The sitting room retains a cottage-style fireplace and the kitchen/breakfast room has original quarry tiles—features that suit buyers who value period detail and village charm.
The house is chain free and freehold, with a west-facing rear garden and driveway parking for one car. Practical updates have been made such as double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the property requires general refurbishment throughout—presenting clear scope to modernise and add value.
The layout is compact (circa 506 sq ft) with one double bedroom, a smaller single bedroom and a first-floor bathroom. The walls are solid brick (likely uninsulated) and the home would benefit from renovation works, improved insulation and modernising of utilities and finishes.
Set within a very low-crime, affluent village environment, day-to-day convenience is excellent—shops, pubs, and an outstanding primary school are close by. Commuting options are good for the area, with nearby rail links and road connections to larger towns and London. Buyers should note a right of way across the rear garden for neighbouring access.
