Nestled within approximately 3.25 acres of picturesque Hertfordshire countryside, this detached period home offers both charm and the promise of renovation potential. Jockey Cottage is accessed via a private gated driveway, providing an element of seclusion while enjoying sweeping views over the expansive fields.
The property features two bedrooms, a spacious lounge with original period details, a fitted kitchen, and a ground-floor bathroom. While the cottage already showcases rustic appeal, it holds exceptional opportunities for extension or remodeling to tailor it to personal preferences (subject to planning permission).
A standout feature is the self-contained annexe that complements the main residence with its modern design. This one-bedroom unit includes a lounge, kitchen, double bedroom, and contemporary bathroom, complete with French doors leading to a private decking area and hot tub — ideal for relaxing while overlooking the garden.
Benefiting from recently installed solar panels that help minimize utility costs by generating most of its electricity, the property also utilizes a private well for water supply—offering sustainable living advantages.
Additional amenities include a timber stable block which could serve as storage or be converted for equestrian purposes and a former ménage area that presents options for reinstatement or re-purposing according to your needs—perfect for outdoor enthusiasts or those envisioning a smallholding lifestyle.
The annexe offers flexibility as guest accommodation or could generate income as a holiday rental (subject to necessary permissions). The expansive grounds feature formal gardens, open lawns, and wooded areas—creating an inviting atmosphere for outdoor activities and gatherings.
Situated on the outskirts of Royston with easy access to Ashwell & Morden Station (approximately 35 minutes to Kings Cross) and excellent transport links to London and Cambridge, this unique residence harmonizes rural serenity with contemporary convenience. Jockey Cottage is offered chain-free, representing an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a remarkable home in a stunning countryside locale.
