Refurbished family home with large garden and village setting.
Approx 100ft rear garden with block-paved patio and lawn
Detached period cottage with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace
Re-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and oak worktops
Principal bedroom with luxury roll-top en-suite and dressing room option
Off-street shingle driveway with parking for several vehicles
Timber-frame original construction; likely no historic wall insulation (assumed)
Oil-fired boiler and radiators — main fuel is oil, not a community supply
Restricted headroom in parts of the first floor; council tax is expensive
Set well back from the road in a sought-after Hertfordshire village, this detached period cottage combines original character with recent refurbishment. The house offers comfortable family living across multiple reception rooms, a re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, and a principal bedroom with a luxury en-suite. The plot is a standout: a c.100ft rear garden, attractive front lawn and ample shingled off-street parking.
Period features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and bay windows are retained alongside modern upgrades: double glazing installed after 2002, a new kitchen, and two luxury bathrooms. The layout suits family life — separate sitting and dining rooms, a study/playroom and ground-floor cloakroom — while the sizeable footprint (approx. 1,583 sq ft) gives flexibility for changing needs.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property’s timber-frame construction is understood to have been built without historic insulation, and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators. Council tax is described as expensive. There is restricted headroom in parts of the landing/first floor and mobile and broadband speeds are average for a rural location.
For families seeking village life with good local schools, peace and outdoor space, this home offers an attractive balance of character and recent refurbishment. A viewing is advised to appreciate the scale, layout and gardens fully.
