Chain free....Oliver Minton are delighted to bring to the market one of Stanstead Abbott's most charming properties, a beautiful ‘black and white’ Grade ll Listed period residence, believed to have been built early C.19. This truly unique and sizeable home (over 1500 sq.ft.), has been the subject of renovation and refurbishment throughout over recent years, with the emphasis on a clever blend of bespoke craftsmanship, stylish design incorporating the period features and the overall feeling of light and space, often not found in a period home.
Location
Kitten Lane is a small tree-lined lane just on the outskirts of the village, yet still within comfortable distance of the village High Street, St. Margaret's mainline station. Village amenities include a Co-Op store/post office plus a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants and the regarded pre-school and primary school are close by.
Nearby Lea Valley Park is perfect for walking, cycling, and fishing and boating.
The property is also conveniently located for the market towns of Ware and Hertford, easily accessible for multiple shopping and sporting facilities, schooling for all ages and alternative mainline railway stations providing commuter services to London.
Excellent road links are available via the A10 and M25. Stansted London's Third International Airport is also readily available (approximately 17 miles distant)
