Summary - 1 Stores Cottage, Hare Street, BUNTINGFORD SG9 0EQ
2 bed 2 bath Cottage
Huge wooded plot and flexible living close to Buntingford.
Period cottage with exposed timbers and character fireplaces
Set back in a quiet village lane, this two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage pairs genuine period character with an exceptional rear plot of over an acre. Exposed timbers, brick fireplaces and compact, well-laid-out living spaces give the house immediate charm, while the vast garden, woodland and adjoining farmland deliver rare privacy and potential for gardens, outbuildings or leisure use (subject to consents).
The house is arranged over three levels with a sitting room, dining/inner hall, extended kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, and two bedrooms, a study and bathroom above. A boarded loft provides additional storage or occasional accommodation. Heating is by air-source heat pump with radiators and electricity as mains fuel; broadband is reported as fast and crime levels are very low.
Practical points are clear: the building is solid-brick and predates 1900, so the walls currently lack built-in insulation and upgrading could be needed to improve thermal performance. Parking is off-street via a shared service road with vehicular right of way; the end position near the access widens parking opportunities and could allow a detached garage/workshop (subject to planning). The footprint of the cottage is modest, so the principal value drivers here are the extraordinary land size and woodland setting rather than large internal living areas.
This property will suit buyers seeking countryside lifestyle and outdoor space — families wanting room to roam, hobby gardeners, or purchasers looking for a plot with potential for external development or significant landscaping. Necessary modernisation and insulation work should be factored into any offer.
