Summary - West Street, Lilley, Hertfordshire, LU2 LU2 8LN
4 bed 3 bath Detached
17th-century cottage with large garden and triple garage, ripe for sympathetic renovation in central Lilley.
17th-century detached cottage with original Sowerby Estate features
This 17th-century detached cottage sits in the heart of Lilley, originally part of the Sowerby Estate and retaining historic features and character. Set on a large plot with an enclosed south-westerly garden, the house offers generous grounds, gated parking for several cars and a triple garage with inspection pit — a rare combination in the village centre.
Internally there is approximately 1,853 sq ft of accommodation: four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with adjoining wet room, first-floor bathroom, kitchen and utility. Period features such as exposed beams and a character fireplace give the house its cottage charm, while room sizes are comfortable for family living. Oil-fired heating and an Aga are in place.
The property requires modernisation throughout. Renovation will be needed to update services, interior finishes and broadband provision. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and oil heating may be less efficient than modern alternatives. These are important considerations for buyers planning refurbishment.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled village property with substantial external space and outbuildings — ideal for families wanting room to expand, those planning a sympathetic renovation, or buyers who value village life and countryside outlooks. Its central location next to The Lilley Arms places amenities and good-rated schools within easy reach.
