Description

One of a pair and believed to date back to the 1640s, ‘Stile End’ is a gorgeous and quirky Grade II Listed, timber-framed semi-detached thatched cottage hidden behind automatic gates along a quiet lane in the hamlet of Southern Green, within the Conservation Area. The accommodation retains many character features including exposed timbers throughout, latch doors, tiled floors and an impressive inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. Enhancing its idyllic rural setting, the property is nestled within extensive and picturesque gardens with ample parking and a detached garage. 

Location

The property is in a stunning rural setting, but with the benefit of neighbours and an active village social life. The small hamlet of Southern Green sits in unspoilt countryside and forms part of the attractive village of Rushden, with the Parish Church and a Public House nearby. The lane serving Southern Green is a no-through road and therefore there is very little passing traffic. More extensive facilities can be found in Baldock and Buntingford, both a short drive away. For those wishing to commute, both Stevenage and Baldock offer fast and frequent services into Kings Cross/St Pancras International, taking around 25 and 40 minutes respectively. Both the A1(M) and A10 are within convenient driving distance. 

The Property

The accommodation benefits from plenty of natural light, not always found in a period, beamed home, as the majority of rooms enjoy a dual aspect.  In brief, the layout offers: An enclosed porch, generous sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen and a ground floor shower room. To the first floor, part-vaulted ceilings provide good headroom with two/three bedrooms, The second bedroom has an en-suite w.c. and an adjacent, similar size room that could be used as a third bedroom or perhaps a dressing room or study, depending on a buyers requirements.
