High Street, Walkern, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG2

An incredibly rare opportunity to purchase this charming, Grade II Listed, four bedroom detached character cottage dating back to 1720 benefiting from the addition of an attractive two-storey detached building formerly used as the Walkern Village Gallery. This sizeable building offers huge residential and business potential whilst in our opinion the building and surrounding gardens could be redeveloped to create a separate dwellings (subject to planning) It is worthy of note that architects drawings have previously been produced for the sites development and can be provided upon request. The Gallery enjoys the benefit of an integral garage/workshop and its own part enclosed courtyard garden whilst the main driveway extends to the rear of the Gallery providing an abundance of parking whilst the opportunity to create a separate driveway from the High Street to the Gallery remains, again subject to planning consent. Granary Cottage retains a number of fine, period features and offers a deceptively spacious arrangement of accommodation including a welcoming reception hallway, a most comfortable sitting room with a wood burning stove, formal dining room, farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room, a practical utility room and downstairs wc. The split level first floor landing leads to four generous bedrooms with an en-suite shower room serving the master bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom. Further practical benefits include sealed unit double glazing where specified and gas fired central heating whilst the extended block paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The wrap-around gardens are a further highlight of the property extending to the side and rear of the cottage, laid predominantly to lawn with a vegetable garden and many areas of interest. Viewing highly recommended to appreciate the unusual nature of the property and the versatility that the plot and separate building provide.
