Character-filled four-bedroom cottage on about 2.35 acres, chain-free.
Grade II listed four-bedroom detached cottage, approximately 2,327 sq ft
A rare Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage set in about 2.35 acres, this period home combines historic character with roomy family living. Exposed beams, open fireplaces and original doors recall its origin as two cottages; generous reception rooms and a vaulted master bedroom offer flexible family layouts and strong countryside views.
The kitchen-diner, with an Aga and stripped floorboards, sits at the heart of the house and connects to a modern utility and a practical shower room — useful after country walks. Two staircases and multiple reception rooms give scope for home working, children's playrooms or formal entertaining. The plot is substantial, with fenced gardens, hedging and space for an allotment, small livestock or equestrian/hobby uses (subject to consents).
Important practical matters: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate renovations. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is by septic tank; the property is EPC exempt. Council Tax Band G reflects higher running costs. The setting has a medium flood risk — buyers should obtain detailed environmental and insurance advice.
Offered chain-free and under three and a half miles from Broxbourne station, this home suits families who value privacy, outdoor space and character, but who accept listed-building responsibilities and countryside servicing (oil, septic). It will particularly appeal to buyers who want a sympathetic restoration project or to adapt historic rooms for modern family life.
