This detached Rothschild cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation, nestled on approximately half an acre of land adjacent to the scenic Grand Union Canal in the charming village of Marsworth. With its original features and spacious grounds, the property offers significant potential for those looking to invest in a project that could transform it into a dream home.
The cottage is not designated as a listed property, allowing for greater flexibility in any renovations or extensions (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions). The existing layout includes an entrance porch leading into a hall with stairs to the first floor, a dual-aspect lounge complete with a fireplace, and a dining room that also features its own fireplace. Additional spaces include a study, a kitchen, boot room porch, and two convenient w/cs. Three bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom, along with an eaves room that may offer creative possibilities despite its limited headroom.
Outside, the mature gardens envelop the cottage and feature flower beds and even a greenhouse. A notable asset is an outbuilding divided into three rooms and a detached garage, both providing extra space for storage or potential workshops. A traditional well within the grounds adds character and utility.
Situated amidst beautiful countryside just two miles from Tring, this property benefits from proximity to local amenities including shops, restaurants, and excellent transport links. The nearby Red Lion pub—a historic 17th-century gastro establishment—adds to the village's charm. For commuters, Marsworth's location offers quick access to Tring train station with direct services to London Euston in about 38 minutes.
This property represents not just a home but an investment opportunity in an area renowned for its picturesque landscape and community spirit. Whether aiming to create your ideal residence or capitalize on rental potential in this desirable locale, this cottage holds promise for prospective buyers willing to undertake its restoration.
