This charming extended three-bedroom cottage is situated in the heart of Barkway village, boasting a distinctive peg tiled roof and a host of characterful features waiting to be enhanced. The property greets you with a gravel driveway leading to a spacious entrance hall, from which a large study/family room—part of the original extension—can be accessed. Moving into the original section, the lounge/diner showcases exposed beams and studwork, along with an impressive inglenook fireplace that adds warmth and history to the space.
The kitchen presents an opportunity for renovation, offering the potential to relocate it where the current utility room is situated. Additionally, there’s a utility room and a downstairs cloakroom, while the rear boasts an orangery with storage space connected to useful outbuildings.
Upstairs features three generously sized double bedrooms characterized by vaulted ceilings and dual aspect windows that provide plenty of natural light. A shower room with separate WC and a jack-and-jill en-suite bathroom complete this level.
Externally, there's convenient driveway parking alongside mature, private gardens spanning almost 1/4 acre that are enclosed by picket fencing and flint walls. The garden includes established fruit trees and borders, alongside a timber outbuilding currently used for wood storage which can serve as a small workshop.
Located in well-regarded North Hertfordshire, Barkway village offers local amenities including a primary school with nursery class and community playgroups. Nearby towns Royston (4.2 miles) and Buntingford (5.7 miles) provide essential shopping and recreational facilities, while Bishops Stortford (16 miles) offers additional amenities. Excellent transport links are available through Royston's mainline railway station with services to London Kings Cross, making this property not only charming but also strategically located for commuters.
