Walnut Tree Road, Pirton, SG5

This chocolate-box Grade II listed 18th-century, former worker's cottage is a true standout, nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after and award-winning village of Pirton. Recognised for its outstanding beauty, charming features, and tranquil setting backing onto Blacksmiths Pond, the property is surrounded by beautifully maintained mature gardens.

The current owners have presented the home to a superb standard, thoughtfully combining contemporary updates with the property's rich character, highlighted by exposed beams, original timbers, wide floorboards, and striking feature fireplaces, all beneath a meticulously maintained thatched roof.

An inviting entrance space, currently used as a dining and music room, sets the tone for the versatile layout. The two main reception rooms flow seamlessly, with the sitting room offering views over both the front and rear gardens and featuring an impressive open fireplace. A staircase leads to a double guest bedroom with en-suite toilet.

To the opposite side of the home lies a spacious, handmade open-plan kitchen/dining room with marble worktops and bespoke cabinetry, enhanced by exposed beams showcased behind a feature glass wall. A practical utility room and a modern shower room with WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom impresses with vaulted ceilings and fitted wardrobes. Two further rooms, a double bedroom and a study/optional fourth bedroom are complemented by a modern four-piece family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are a highlight, mature, established, and beautifully landscaped, with a front lawn and a large rear patio area offering views across the pond. There are two detached garages, both with extensive loft storage, one of these has the benefit of an electric door.
They offer excellent potential for further development or conversion options (subject to planning). A large driveway provides ample off-street parking.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable villages.
