About
This lovely timber cottage is set in a semi rural location in Leverstock Green, and as such, has the benefits of a private and picturesque setting while still having easy access to amenities.
Set back from the road, the house sits on an excellent plot of approximately half an acre, and is reached by a drive which leads to a large parking area which can accommodate several vehicles.
The house is immaculately presented, and has been considerably improved over recent years.
The front door opens into the entrance hall and this gives access to a lovely, bright reception room, with a large bay window flooding the room with natural light and making the most of the countryside views.
The kitchen has been recently installed and the design includes an excellent range of storage cupboards as well as several integrated appliances, and it leads into a stunning dining area, with a tiled floor and large windows on three sides overlooking the impressive garden.
The ground floor also has a separate utility room with a useful WC.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which have fitted storage, and there is a stylish family bathroom, refitted and finished to an impressive standard.
Outside, there is an expansive garden, with a large lawn and a paved seating area close to the property and it has a lovely open aspect and mature trees to the boundaries.
The property has the unusual advantage of two sizeable outbuildings, the smaller of which is accessed from the driveway, and the larger which is positioned to the rear, and alongside the garden, but separated from it by a fence.
Please note: A Covenant excludes the possibility of development on the plot and the outbuildings cannot be used for business purposes.
The property is timber framed as is classed as non standard construction - please ask the agent for further details.
The property is located in Leverstock Green, a popular village with local shops, a pretty church and a cricket club.
The city of St Albans is within easy reach and this provides an excellent range of shops and amenities.
The village has excellent transport links and is conveniently located for easy access to the M1 and M25 and frequent train services into London run from Hemel Hempstead and St Albans stations.
