House For Sale £539,950
Chain free... This attractive ex-farmworkers cottage, built in the late Victorian period, is one of just six, characterful properties set in this quiet enclave in the midst of the countryside, on the fringes of the highly sought after village of Hunsdon.
Although it may feel like you are living the rural dream, it is actually very well placed for easy travel into the surrounding towns and villages offering an excellent variety of amenities and a choice of main-line stations to whisk you into the City.
The current owners have carried out an extensive programme of refurbishment throughout and it is now a lovely ready-made home either for those who wish to commute, with both Harlow and St. Margaret's mainline railway stations just a short drive away or it could equally be of great interest to those buyers looking for more of a lifestyle move with some of East Hertfordshire’s most beautiful countryside enveloping the village and right on your doorstep.
Set over three floors, the living space in brief provides: Entrance hall, utility area, living room, kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom with separate w.c. All of the double bedrooms offer fabulous views. There are two to the first floor and a further bedroom on the second floor.
Approached via a small lane, well laid back from the road, the house sits on a generous plot with a large south-west facing garden (approximately 150ft) and private parking. To the front, adjacent to the entrance door, there is a useful, good size, lockable storage space.
