Charming two‑bed home with enclosed garden near good schools.
Victorian semi‑detached cottage with original flint and brick detailing
Set back behind a low walled forecourt, this semi‑detached Victorian cottage combines period charm with practical family living. The ground floor has been sympathetically extended, creating a spacious sitting room with a wood‑burning stove, a separate dining room with French doors, and a kitchen that opens directly onto a fully enclosed rear garden — ideal for children and dogs.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms that retain original features such as exposed beams, pine doors and a decorative cast‑iron fireplace in the main bedroom. A large walk‑in storage cupboard provides useful hiding space for toys and household clutter. The property’s solid brick construction and exposed flint detailing contribute to its unmistakable character.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the walls are original solid brick (insulation is not evident), double glazing appears to predate 2002, and there is a single bathroom. Council tax sits above average for the area. These factors are common in older cottages and present opportunities to improve energy efficiency and add value with considered upgrades.
Overall this is a rare, characterful two‑bedroom cottage in a very affluent, family‑oriented part of Northchurch, close to well‑regarded schools and local amenities. It will suit buyers seeking period features, a manageable garden and scope to modernise sensibly while retaining the home’s original charm.
