More than first meets the eye - this cottage boasts a great tick list plus a bonus surprise! Extended to the rear on two floors (with a pitched roof) has added enough space to include a 'rare in cottages' upstairs bathroom (Tick 1), a stylish modern kitchen (Tick 2) and an open plan Living/Dining with a real woodburner (Tick 3). Out the front there's on-plot driveway parking (Tick 4) whilst at the back there's a 20m+ rear garden that's west-facing (Tick 5). Beyond the garden and the brick shed at the bottom the property opens out into a huge bonus plot about 26m x 9m (Surprise!)

The property was completely renovated a few years ago and remains in excellent decorative order with modern fittings. Bedroom 1 is very generous size with a decorative period style fireplace and ample space for large wardrobes whilst Bedroom 2 is narrower but very long making great space for a single bedroom incorporating an office space. The convenience of an upstairs bathroom cannot be overstated (versus the usual cottage style with the bathroom behind the kitchen downstairs). The open-plan Living/Dining is a great space too with ample space for a full size dining table.

This location is just a couple of minutes walk to The Hicca Way - a riverside route which runs right alongside Arlesey between the railway and the River Purwell including the features of Arlesey Common, Arlesey Old Moat and Glebe Meadows nature reserve.

Arlesey is a large, growing village just North of the Beds/Herts border, surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of the A507 and A1(M). The village offers a range of local shopping, pubs and food outlets and significantly a Mainline Railway station with direct travel to London St. Pancras in under 40 minutes. Dating back as long as the 1086 Domesday Book, there is a broad range of home styles and building eras - something for everyone! Gothic Mede Academy provides Primary education in the middle of the village, with numerous Secondary options including Etonbury Academy on the Arlesey/Stotfold border. Further facilities and shopping are available within a few miles in the larger towns of Letchworth Garden City and Hitchin to the South.
