Kitten Lane, Stanstead Abbotts

Being one of just three ‘black and white’ Grade ll Listed period homes that form part of this pretty tree-lined lane, this beautifully presented character cottage is being offered for sale with the added convenience of no ongoing chain.

Giving little away from the outside, the accommodation is bigger than one might anticipate and in brief offers: A recently re-fitted the kitchen that spans the full width of the cottage, a sitting room with wood burning stove, a separate dining room overlooking the garden, two bedrooms and a first floor bathroom.

This delightful home also boasts a larger than average, secluded rear garden, complete with timber summer house and also off street parking, under an oak car port.
