High Street, Barkway, Royston, Hertfordshire, SG8

82 High Street is located in the centre of Barkway village and is an extended three-bedroom period cottage with a peg tiled roof and an abundance of character features throughout. The property is approached via a gravel driveway which then leads to a spacious entrance hall with a large and airy study/family room which is part of the previous extension, we then lead into the original part of the cottage where the lounge/diner is and this benefits from exposed beams and studwork and a stunning working inglenook fireplace with brick surround.

The kitchen is in need of some refurbishment (and could possibly be moved to where the utility room is). There is a utility room and a downstairs cloakroom and to the back of the property is an orangery which has storage and access to the outbuildings.

Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms with the majority of the rooms with vaulted ceilings and dual aspect. There is a shower room with separate w/c and a jack and jill en-suite bathroom.

Outside there is driveway parking to the side of the property which leads round to the rear garden. The rear garden is mature and un-overlooked and southwest facing, enclosed by a combination of picket fencing and flint walls. The plot is approaching 1/4 of an acre and has a handful of fruit trees, mature trees and borders. Also, the rear of the property there is a timber outbuilding which is currently used for wood storage which also has a very small workshop.

Barkway is a well regarded North Hertfordshire village with a range of predominantly period houses, and has a primary school with nursery class and a playgroup in the village hall. The larger centres of Royston (4.2 miles) and Buntingford (5.7 miles) provide a range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, and the market town of Bishops Stortford (16 miles) offers further amenities. There is a mainline railway station at Royston providing trains to London Kings Cross. Further stations at Audley End, Bishop's Stortford and Ware all have services to London (Liverpool Street). The A10 lies approximately 2 miles to the west, with links to the City and M25 London Orbital Motorway.
