Description

This spacious two-bedroom period cottage, located in the desirable village of Walkern, offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to add value through renovation. With a generous footprint of 1109 sqft, this property features a double-story extension that sets it apart from other cottages in the row, allowing for various layout reconfigurations. The ground floor boasts a sizeable living room with charming exposed brick fireplaces and original floorboards, complemented by an additional expansive living space that currently houses the kitchen and provides access to a downstairs bathroom. The upper level consists of two bright double bedrooms, with the rear room benefiting from large windows that flood the space with natural light. Though there is no garden, a substantial brick-built studio along with a small greenhouse presents an alternative outdoor utility or potential workspace. While modernisation is required throughout to unlock the property's full charm and character, its location in Walkern provides easy access to local amenities such as shops, pubs, and schools. With good transport links to Stevenage station for direct trains to London Kings Cross, this property not only offers immediate comfort but also significant investment potential for those willing to undertake updates.
