"This intriguing and spacious 17th Century village house has been sympathetically restored and extended whilst still retaining some beautiful period features including exposed timber beams, latch and brace doors, inglenook fireplaces and wood burning stoves. Wayside Cottage's vast and versatile accommodation is spread over more than 2300sq ft and boasts four double bedrooms, five reception rooms and an outstanding 22ft 'Farmhouse style' kitchen breakfast room. The property lays within pretty mature grounds that the present owner has transformed and tastefully maintained over the years into a tranquil and peaceful setting to relax and unwind both in the courtyard and the split level garden and patio area to the rear. The property also provides gated access with ample parking and integral garage to the side. To the front of the plot lays a charming period outbuilding with light and power lending itself to be used as an office or small studio. This Grade II Listed dwelling was extended in the 1980's and whilst retaining the original staircase giving access to the older part of the cottage and two double bedrooms, a new staircase was added with two further bedrooms; there is also the potential to create a self-contained annexe in the older part of the property. This charming property is situated in a prime location in the heart of one of North Hertfordshire's most picturesque villages. All the local amenities of Ashwell are just a short walk away including the local post office, Crumps the butchers, Days the bakers together with a dental and doctors surgery. Ashwell and Morden train station is also close by giving direct access to Cambridge and London, Kings Cross. Viewing by appointment.
