4 bedroom detached house for sale

Description

This charming detached character cottage provides bright, spacious accommodation and is set in secluded gardens of approximately three quarters of an acre. The present owners moved in some four years ago and have since carried out significant improvement works that include the fitting of replacement double glazed leaded light windows, an impressive luxuriously fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room, decoration and general refitting together with the erection of a large outbuilding with two workshops, a car port and a useful first floor loft room/studio. In addition there is a large double garage.
The flexible accommodation includes on the ground floor an entrance hallway, cloakroom, study, a lovely living room with large fireplace and wood burning stove, a beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, a family room/double bedroom and a ground floor luxury shower room. On the first floor there are four bedrooms and a further luxurious bathroom.
Rushden is a small pretty village and is midway between the towns of Buntingford (A10), Stevenage (A1M), Baldock (A1M) and Royston (A10) and as such is well placed for those wishing to commute by both road or rail.
