Cappell Lane, Stanstead Abbotts

This attractive, early Edwardian bay-fronted villa has been extended by the current owners to provide accommodation set over three floors, with a long west facing garden. The property is well presented and retains many original features. It is located on the highly sought after Cappell Lane, with the High Street and main-line railway station and open countryside all close by. The property is set back from the street behind a walled front garden with attractive wrought iron gate and railings.

There are two reception rooms, including a bay-fronted sitting room with an open fireplace and a tall, double-glazed sash window, along with a dining room which has a stripped wood floor and log burner. An inner lobby gives access to the utility room and guest cloakroom/W.C. There is a well-fitted kitchen breakfast room to the rear of the house, with views and access to the garden.

On the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst the
third floor houses the well designed, dual aspect loft conversion, providing another excellent size double bedroom with lovely views to the rear over paddock land.

There is planning permission granted to further extend the property to the rear.
