4, Mayston Cottages, Chorleywood, WD3 5LQ

A charming two-bedroom Victorian property (believed to date from the late 19th century), this end terrace of four is situated in the heart of the village and has been tastefully updated while thoughtfully preserving its original features and character.

The front door opens into a bright reception room featuring a brick open fireplace with a stone hearth. The second reception room also boasts a feature fireplace with a log burner.

Behind a traditional latched pine door, a characterful cottage staircase is neatly tucked into the corner and leads to a small first-floor landing.

The pretty country-style kitchen features cream cabinets complemented by wooden worktops and metro-tiled splashbacks.

It is fitted with a Range cooker with a five-burner gas hob, a Belfast sink with a separate ceramic drainer, an integrated fridge-freezer and space for a washing machine.

A stable door leads from the kitchen to a covered lean-to, providing useful additional storage. There is also a ground-floor cloakroom with a WC and wash basin.

Upstairs, both double bedrooms and the bathroom retain attractive cast-iron fireplaces.

The spacious bathroom, accessed via the second bedroom, features a freestanding claw-foot bath with a traditional over-bath shower and curtain rail, complemented by decorative feature tiling.

Set back from the pavement, the property enjoys a small front garden with a mature wisteria, a picket fence and gate, together with useful side access.

The charming rear garden offers a sunny patio, storage shed and summer house, enclosed by close-boarded fencing on either side.

Further benefits include a covered porch, double-glazed windows and gas central heating.

The property is just a few minutes' walk from Chorleywood Station and the Common, with on-street parking available (residents' permit required).
