Description

The White Cottage is a pretty Grade II listed detached property with original parts dating from the 17th century with later alterations and extensions, the most recent a significant extension in 2012.

Permission was also granted in January 2019 for the construction of a single storey open garage with dual pitched roof to the right hand side, Dacorum planning ref: 4/02921/18/LBC.

The cottage retains a wealth of original charm and character with the beautiful gardens, in total about half an acre, a further outstanding feature.

There is a wonderful first impression of the cottage, set well back off the road, with its attractive rose covered white rendered front elevation. Deceptively spacious with an adaptable layout the entrance hall provides access to the two more formal reception rooms on each side – the double aspect sitting room which has a fireplace with a wood burner and the dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room includes a range of units with granite worktops. A door leads to the utility room with a ground floor shower room (there is also a cloakroom off the hall) and access to the family room with bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden.

There are two staircases, the main from the entrance hall which leads to the original three bedrooms and family bathroom and the other from the utility room leading to a double bedroom with a contemporary en suite bathroom, which is above the sitting room.

The plot, in total about half an acre provides beautiful gardens to both the front and rear, a true gardeners delight. There are extensive areas of lawn interspersed with well stocked flower beds and borders, pathways with an attractive rose arch. Overlooking fields to the rear there is also a productive vegetable and soft fruit garden and greenhouse as well as a number of outbuildings, including a double length garage, workshop and sheds.
