This attractive Grade II listed cottage blends historic character with comfortable, family-sized living. The house offers bright, spacious lounge and dining rooms, a shaker-style kitchen and a useful cellar/laundry room — generous room sizes across approximately 1,614 sq ft. The large principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and there are two further bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a separate shower room.
A major practical benefit is the extant planning consent (St Albans District Council ref. 5/11/0141) for significant alteration and extension; the vendor reports commencement works were carried out so the consent carries no time limit. The property is chain free, includes a garage plus additional off-street parking, and sits a short stroll from Wheathampstead High Street, village schools and local amenities. Harpenden and St Albans stations are within convenient driving distance.
Important cautions are straightforward and factual: as a Grade II listed building, any works will require listed-building consents and will likely be more complex and costly than for a non-listed house. The property’s age and historic fabric mean maintenance and sympathetic repair should be anticipated. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a characterful family home with clear potential for carefully managed improvement under existing planning permission.
