A beautifully presented characterful home in a magnificent garden.
Description
Gable Cottage is set on the edge of the village Kelshall and has views to open countryside to the front and rear. The gravelled driveway provides plenty of parking in front of the garaging with a stepping stone path leading to the front door via an entrance porch.
This opens into an open plan dining hallway which is a great sized room with a staircase leading to the first floor and doors to the other reception areas. There is a large Inglenook-style fireplace with an inset wood burning stove. Just off is a study/family room and to the other end of the house is a less formal snug/TV room, also with a fireplace and access to the kitchen.
To the rear of the house is a hallway with the guest cloakroom, another access to the kitchen and leading into a more spacious drawing room with access onto the gardens. The kitchen offers a range of traditional wall and base units and fitted AGA.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom currently uses one of these bedrooms as a dressing room with the bathroom adjacent.
Moving outside, the gardens for the house are simply magnificent. They have been tastefully landscaped and maintained by the current owners and provide much interest with a mix of formal hedging, flower beds, rose borders, vegetable plot and a shaped lawn. The gardens back onto open fields. At the rear of the house is a paved patio with a converted flint building providing an outdoor utility room/potential work space. There are various other buildings dotted about including a greenhouse and summer house.
To the side of the house there are two single garages and a larger independent garage block which was built by the previous owners with residential conversion in mind. We feel that this may be converted into an annexe by reigniting a previous planning permission, though local authority permission will need to be sought.
SERVICES:
Mains drainage
Oil fired central heating
Mains water
Mains electricity
The house is partly thatched in reed with the ridge being redone around 5 years ago
Location
Kelshall is a picturesque and popular small village with adjacent to Therfield, which has a Primary school, church, well known pub, the Fox and Duck.
Royston Heath is a nature reserve on the northern side of the village. There are some fabulous countryside views and walks along a network of local footpaths and bridlepaths.
The village is some 4 miles south west of Royston mainline railway station with a service running to Kings Cross. There is also a high speed service from Stevenage (approximately 13 miles). There are a wide range of facilities in nearby Royston, Ashwell, Buntingford and Baldock.
The ‘high-tech’ university City of Cambridge is approximately 17 miles (city centre) and offers a comprehensive range of shops and services including a full range of supermarkets, restaurants and specialist shops.
The City has theatres, cinemas and extensive cultural and recreational amenities as well as world leading universities. There are a range of schools in the area together with a number of well-regarded independent schools in Cambridge. Road links via the A505 and A10 to London, Stansted Airport and the M11 – in turn leading to the A1, M1 & M6 respectively.
