Step into a charming two-bedroom cottage dating from circa 1680, tucked on Sandridge High Street with village amenities and easy access to St Albans. The house retains period features throughout — exposed beams, a rustic fireplace and built-in bedroom storage — giving the home a warm, characterful feel across its three floors.
The ground floor offers a cosy lounge leading to a kitchen-diner with good storage and space for casual dining. Upstairs, a large landing with beams leads to a double bedroom and family bathroom with a small balcony overlooking the courtyard. The top-floor master bedroom is bright and full of character. A separate annexe/study overlooks the courtyard and is well suited to home working or a quiet retreat.
Practical benefits include a private driveway, single garage and parking — rare for a property of this age and location — plus fast broadband and proximity to good local schools and countryside walks (Heartwood Forest). Note the property has electric storage heating, solid brick walls likely without insulation, and an EPC rating of E; some updating and energy improvements will be required to increase efficiency and modern comfort.
Overall this is a unique village home for buyers who value period charm and location, and who are prepared to carry out modest updating to improve energy performance and interior finishes. The compact garden and courtyard suit low-maintenance outdoor living, while the garage adds useful storage and parking convenience.
