About the Property
Summary:
Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market this delightful three bedroom, two bathroom country cottage in the lovely Hertfordshire village of Lemsford. This newly renovated family home enjoys a practical and flexible layout but retains all of its rural charm, with open fireplaces, tiled or wooden floors, and simply stunning uninterrupted countryside views. Enjoying a wonderful open aspect, with the upper reaches of the River Lea meandering along the rear border of the spacious garden, yet within easy reach of the many facilities and transport links provided by nearby Welwyn Garden City and the A1(M), this property is very special indeed.
Accommodation:
The traditional front door opens into a cosy and welcoming sitting room. This is a room of nice proportions giving great flexibility as to its use. It’s nicely lit, and like most of the ground floor rooms, has an attractive and really usable fireplace set into a decorative surround and hearth.
From here a part glazed door leads past the centrally located stairwell into the dining room. Traditional tiles grace the floor and another lovely fireplace punctuates the end wall, offering warmth and an attractive focal point.
Beyond the dining room is a lovely family room occupying the rear of the house. This room is bathed in natural light from the glazed double doors to the rear as well as a large window and part glazed door to the side. The abundant windows really bring the outside in, offering spectacular views over the patio, garden, the river and the open countryside beyond. A conveniently positioned guest cloakroom is adjacent to the family room, a perfect location for guests and family to gain ready access from the garden and the house.
Property Details
Linking seamlessly in an open plan style to the dining room is the large living room. This, again, is a nice size and shape, allowing plenty of choice of layout and furnishing. Two large windows set into two different aspects ensure the room is light and bright, allowing the natural daylight and countryside views to pour unhindered into the room. A beautiful and imposing fireplace occupies one corner, bringing an attractive and authentic visual impact as well as a cosy heat that will be much appreciated through the colder months.
To the front of the property is the country kitchen. Glazed double doors open directly into the garden and a window to the front further enhances the plentiful natural light. A range of fitted units provide storage, worktop food preparation areas and an integrated hob and oven along with space for further kitchen appliances. The bulk of the room is left as open floor space, giving ample opportunities for further fitted or free standing storage as well as comfortably accepting a large kitchen table and chairs.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all generous enough in size to be doubles and all blessed with wonderful views out over the surrounding natural landscape.
Intelligent planning endows the house with two independent bathrooms, both opening onto the upper hallway. One has a suite with a corner shower, the other features a bath with shower attachment. An arrangement that will be a real boon in those pinch-point busy moments that occur through the day.
Exterior:
A small front garden has a pathway to the front door and some flower borders as it leads around the house to the large garden to the side with an extensive river frontage. A neat patio occupies the space between the living room and family room, offering a fabulous location for entertaining and relaxing as a family, nicely set into a protected area and enjoying the idyllic situation of the river flowing gently past. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with some flower beds, shrubs and small specimen trees, all of which is elevated by the beautiful backdrop that is the open vista of the river and the wonderful countryside stretching out beyond the far bank.
Location:
This property is perfectly located in the rural village of Lemsford adjacent to the much favoured west side of Welwyn Garden City, enjoying a countryside location yet within a few minutes of the city centre with its popular shopping areas, restaurants, bars and mainline railway station, from which regular and frequent services run north and south. London is an easy commute, with Kings Cross station just 25 minutes away. It also benefits from being close to all other local amenities including the Gosling Sports Centre, doctors, dentists and renowned schooling for all ages. Despite its residential location it remains within easy access of the motorway network via the A1(M).
