About
Summary Once the stables to the historic Green Dragon pub, this two double bedroom cottage has a story to tell-and a lovely setting beside the River Colne.
Description Tucked away on a peaceful no-through road, the cottage enjoys close by picturesque river views and a sense of seclusion, with local amenities still within easy reach.
Beautifully presented throughout, it pairs its characterful past with the comforts of a modern home.
The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, with a wood-burning stove ready for cosy evenings in. The modern kitchen and breakfast room offers room to cook, dine and linger over coffee.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal bedroom also benefits from a stylish, recently refitted en-suite bathroom.
Outside, the spacious front garden creates a welcoming first impression and offers potential for off-street parking, subject to any necessary consents.
A private courtyard to the side and rear is ideal for outdoor dining or a quiet moment in the sun. There is a useful outhouse building, perfect for conversion into a home office or hobbies room.
The property also comes with an allocated parking space and a garage. From its former life as the Green Dragon's stables, this is a home with an identity all its own.
Location Situated within a short walk of the local shops on London Colney High Street, Colney Fields retail park with several large brand name outlets and the picturesque scenery along the River Colne.
St Albans city centre with its wide range of shops, restaurants and mainline railway station to London St Pancras is approximately 3.5 miles away.
