Westmill, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9

Keepers Cottage is situated off a private road amongst gently undulating countryside, just to the south of Buntingford. The building would appear to be a structure of some age, with the main section being Victorian with a fine extension to the rear. The handsome elevations are part plastered and part tile hung.

Award-winning architects Cowper and Griffiths designed the extension at the rear of the house to incorporate a generous kitchen/breakfast/family room with a pantry and a utility room. The kitchen/breakfast/family room benefits from automated blinds on the windows. There is a timbered sitting room with a wood burning stove and dining room with an open fireplace. From the hall and beside the garage there is a study, a cloakroom and ground floor shower room.

A staircase then leads up to a generous double bedroom which lies above the garage.

On the first floor in the main house there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and en suite shower room. The house has not only been extended, it has been renovated and appears in excellent order.

There is a generous double garage with light and power, granite sets to the front and parking for three vehicles. To the front of the property there is a small garden with a shrub border and a gravel pathway to a gated side access leading to a log store and a bunded oil tank on a block base. There is a covered boot area at the side of the house which leads to the utility room.

At the back of the house there is a spectacular garden, established by the current owner with delightful planting, pathways and a terrace and aided by an irrigation system complements the garden. Although close to Westmill village and a short drive from the A10, the cottage is in a rural location and surrounded by farmland with very little passing traffic.

AGENTS NOTE: The driveway is owned by the farm, but the owners of Keepers Cottage have a vehicular and pedestrian right of access over it. They pay one eighth of the maintenance of the driveway, which is currently in good condition.

Westmill is one of North Hertfordshire’s most keenly sought after villages with a fine selection of individual and period properties, local inn/restaurant, church and tea shop.
