Set directly backing onto open farmland, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare semi-rural outlook within easy reach of London Colney amenities. The large rear and side gardens, plus driveway and garage, give strong outside space for family life and scope to extend and improve. Planning permission has been approved for a single-storey rear extension (Planning ref 5/2022/2445), making the plot a key value driver for growing households.
Internally the layout is practical: a lounge with adjoining conservatory, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and separate WC, and three bedrooms upstairs. The property totals around 927 sq ft, so accommodation feels modest rather than spacious; the single main bathroom and older fittings mean some updating will likely be needed to maximise comfort and value.
This home suits buyers wanting countryside views while staying close to schools, parks and motorway links. The plot and extension potential will particularly appeal to families looking to enlarge living space. Being chain free eases a quick move, but purchasers should budget for modernisation and factor in the modest internal footprint when planning any works.
