A unique opportunity to purchase two individual properties including both a three bedroom semi-detached character cottage and a deceptively spacious two bedroom detached bungalow. The properties occupy a commanding double plot within this popular, conveniently situated Hertfordshire Village. In our opinion they represent an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living with the bungalow providing an independent, ground floor living space/annex, in addition to providing an excellent revenue stream such as an Airbnb, Buy to Let. Alternatively the bungalow could be adapted for business use. A generous driveway separates the two properties widening behind to provide ample off-road parking with a generous private rear garden whilst the bungalow benefits from an enclosed courtyard. Highlights of the cottage include three generous reception rooms, all of which feature exposed timbers, brickwork and beams, two of which feature a brick built fireplace, the first floor landing provides access to three generous double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. In full the accommodation comprises an entrance porch, lounge, dining room, breakfast/family room, downstairs shower room and kitchen. Both properties benefit from oil fired and gas central heating and double glazing where specified. The bungalow has recently been completely redecorated and offers a deceptively spacious arrangement of accommodation including a wide welcoming reception hallway, generous open-plan main living area combining a modern fitted kitchen with both seating and dining areas with doors opening to the enclosed courtyard, two double bedrooms and a generous four-piece family bathroom. The generous private plot is a particular highlight of the properties enjoying a high degree of privacy whilst providing first floor views to distant countryside. Both properties are offered for sale CHAIN FREE and viewing is highly recommended.
