Description

Nestled in the charming village of Lemsford, this Grade II Listed 17th Century cottage offers a unique chance to create a personalised home through thoughtful renovation. The property is rich with historical character and presents an opportunity for modernisation while preserving its original charm. The inviting exterior features a well-established cottage garden that enhances the historic facade, setting the stage for added value potential. Inside, the cottage boasts two reception rooms, one featuring an attractive fireplace, creating warm and versatile living spaces that await your personal touch. The two bedrooms are comfortable and well-sized, but the property would greatly benefit from a comprehensive update throughout. This is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to transform this residence into a stunning family home tailored to their specifications. Additionally, there is substantial potential for further enhancements or reconfigurations subject to obtaining the necessary consents. A spacious garden storage shed provides options for practical use or conversion into a workshop or studio with appropriate planning permission. Located directly across from the picturesque River Lea and close to local amenities—including a popular village pub—this property allows easy access to Welwyn Garden City’s extensive offerings and mainline rail services into London. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby attractions such as Brocket Hall Estate and various scenic countryside walks. This Grade II Listed cottage not only presents immense renovation potential but also stands as an appealing investment in one of Hertfordshire's most coveted locales.
