About
This exceptional Queen Anne style Grade II listed building represents a masterful amalgamation of two former cottages, thoughtfully combined to create a unique and characterful home.
The property showcases an abundance of charming period features throughout, all complemented by a high standard of modern refurbishment.
The principal reception room is a well appointed living space, featuring two striking fireplaces, including an impressive inglenook, alongside a stunning aged reclaimed oak floor and an original corner display cabinet, enhancing its historic charm.
The spacious kitchen is both stylish and functional, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke storage units and ample work surfaces.
Distinctive features include a chequerboard quarry tiled floor, a partially vaulted ceiling above the dining area and integrated dishwasher.
A separate utility room, accessed externally, provides plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer - offering practical separation from the main living areas.
The rear hall leads to a well-appointed shower room, complete with a tiled enclosure, wash basin, low-level WC, and granite-topped vanity storage, as well as a convenient coat and boot cupboard.
To the first floor, the landing gives access to two generously sized double bedrooms, both featuring exposed beams and built-in wardrobes.
The family bathroom is particularly noteworthy, offering generous proportions and an exceptional finish, including a centrally positioned slipper bath with ball and claw feet, a La Chapelle washstand, low-level WC, and a charming corner fireplace.
The second floor accommodates two further bedrooms, each individually accessed via separate staircases and enhanced by attractive dormer windows, adding to the property’s distinctive layout.
Externally, the front garden presents a quintessential cottage setting, richly planted with an array of flowering plants, shrubs, and neat lavender borders.
The rear garden is surprisingly spacious and extends beyond neighbouring cottages, featuring a large brick-paved terrace, an expansive lawn, and well-stocked flowerbeds.
Additional benefits include a brick outbuilding for storage, an attractive timber summerhouse, and gated rear access. The property is conveniently positioned for travel and amenities.
Commuting into London is easy (just 20 minutes by train to Kings Cross from Knebworth) and St Albans. Stansted and Luton airports are also within comfortable reach.
There is a wide range of excellent state and private schooling within the area, in Welwyn Garden City, Hitchin, St Albans, Harpenden and Letchworth, with Codicote primary school assessed as outstanding in all areas.
