Description
Nestled on the outskirts of Henlow village, this enchanting Grade II listed 17th-century part-thatched cottage exudes timeless charm and character. Steeped in history as a former open hall house, this picturesque property, believed to date back to around 1580, boasts a captivating blend of rustic authenticity and modern comforts.
Set upon an expansive plot of just over one acre, bordered by open fields, this residence offers a tranquil retreat from the bustle of everyday life.
Upon entering, you are greeted by the warmth of the inglenook fireplace in the spacious sitting room, which features a charming log-burning stove. The dining room, ideal for more entertaining family and friends, seamlessly leads to a modern study with garden access, offering a versatile space for work or leisure.
A kitchen, complete with an adjoining utility room, ensures both functionality and convenience. The boiler was replaced in October 2023.
Accommodations include four double bedrooms, with two conveniently situated on each floor, providing flexible living arrangements to suit various lifestyles. The bathroom and shower room on the ground floor cater to modern family needs. There is scope to add a first-floor shower room if necessary. *

There is also a professionally installed OHME EV car charger. A fenced front garden, enveloping the residence, offers a serene retreat, complemented by a patio area at the rear, an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or entertaining guests.
The meticulously maintained grounds extending to 1.04 of an acre, feature lush wraparound gardens, a wildlife pond, and an open rear meadow bordered by hedging, providing a peaceful haven for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. Don’t be surprised if you see a muntjac deer, pheasant or even a peacock!
