Description

This two-bedroom period cottage, situated in the desirable village of Walkern, offers a unique investment opportunity with considerable potential for modernization. The property features a spacious layout enhanced by a double-story extension, making it larger than typical homes in the row. Upon entry, you are greeted by a generous living room that showcases an exposed brick fireplace and original floorboards. An adjoining expansive living area also boasts an exposed fireplace and includes the kitchen, which is currently positioned on a raised platform, along with access to a downstairs bathroom. The upper floor hosts two bright double bedrooms, with the rear room benefiting from ample natural light through its large window. While there is no garden space available, the property does feature a substantial brick-built studio complete with a small greenhouse and two versatile spaces that could function as a summer house or home office. With local amenities such as shops, inviting pubs, and schools within easy reach and convenient transport links to London via Stevenage station just 4 miles away, this cottage stands out as an attractive proposition for those looking to create their ideal home. The absence of outdoor space may be offset by the characterful interiors and potential for reconfiguration. Internal viewings are highly encouraged to fully appreciate what this property has to offer.
