Property description
Believed to be one of the oldest houses in Benington, and last changing hands over 90 years ago, this dreamy 16th/17th century listed cottage is full of character and surprises. With scope for extension, the accommodation currently comprises: lounge, kitchen, utility area, two double bedrooms, WC and bathroom.
What you might not expect to the rear of the property is an attached barn of generous proportions that would lend itself well to conversion into more living / kitchen space (subject to obtaining all the necessary planning consents). If this were to be done, there would then be potential to create a third bedroom from what is now the kitchen.
A further surprise is the size of the SOUTH FACING rear garden, measuring approximately 40m/131 ft in length and 15m/49ft wide (max), not to mention the far-reaching countryside views to the rear, the Church view to the side and the view to the front across what must be one of Hertfordshire’s prettiest Greens!
