3 Bedroom Detached House

Property Insight:

This charming double-fronted cottage dates back to Victorian times and is located in the lovely hamlet of Bendish in Hertfordshire and specifically the Bendish Conservation Area.  With wonderful character features, the property offers plenty of space and an attractive countryside views.

As you enter the property it creates a cosy first impression.  With its warm neutral décor and character features, the house immediately feels warm and welcoming.   In the entrance hall is a large storage cupboard which is ideal for hiding away coats and shoes.  To your left is a generous, dual-aspect sitting room - the perfect setting to relax after a busy day and spend time with family and friends.   Featuring a wonderful fireplace with wooden mantel and log burner, it’s easy to imagine cosy winter’s evenings spent in front of the fire.  At the far end of the room are large, glazed patio doors which lead to the garden and introduce plenty of natural light – ideal for indoor/outdoor living during the summer months.  There is ample room for furniture and the room benefits from a neutral colour palette, including tonal feature wallpaper with a countryside theme and a neutral carpet.

The dining room is situated on the other side of the entrance hall and leads through to the kitchen and conservatory beyond.  Decorated in warm neutrals, it features a cast-iron fireplace and handy built-in shelving.  With space for a dining table and chairs, it’s ideal for both relaxed family meals and entertaining.  The kitchen has a traditional country-feel and features wooden shaker-style cabinetry with contrasting grey work surfaces and benefits from integrated appliances including a wall-mounted double electric oven and induction hob, plus there is space for a fridge freezer.  With access to the conservatory and garden beyond, it’s also a great set up for summer entertaining. 

The conservatory offers further versatile living space, either as an additional sitting room or perhaps a playroom with direct access to the garden.  It could even be used as a dining room and the current dining room repurposed as a snug – there are numerous possibilities to create a configuration to suit your own needs.  However you choose to use it, it’s a lovely bright space which comes into its own during the summer months.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all decorated in tranquil tones.  The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and all have plenty of space for furniture and countryside views.  The bright and spacious family bathroom has been recently refurbished and has a traditional/contemporary feel.  Featuring white heritage sanitaryware and neutral décor, the dark panelled bath and geometric floor tiles provide a stylish and modern twist.  An additional WC in a similar style is a handy feature of the property.

Outside is well-established and secluded garden with mature trees and shrubs.  A good-size lawn provides plenty of space for children to play and patio areas provide space for relaxing and outdoor entertaining, plus there is a shed for storage. The garden also provides direct access to Bendish Recreation Grounds - perfect for dog owners and those who enjoy peaceful countryside walks. At the front of the property is a low-maintenance, fenced front garden with a block-paved driveway and garage to the side.  The property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
