Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: This attractive Victorian cottage enjoys a picturesque riverside setting, with a beautifully landscaped front garden extending down to the banks of the River Lee. These riverside homes are rarely available and whilst requiring some cosmetic updating, we are advised that the property benefits from recently installed Upvc double-glazed sash windows to the majority of the house and a new gas-fired boiler. There is also excellent potential to extend and convert the loft (STPP) as seen in neighbouring properties, making this an ideal opportunity for an incoming buyer to put their own flair and stamp on this delightful home.

The current accommodation offers a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two generous bedrooms.

To the rear, a further private garden provides off-street parking, accessed via Orchard Close.

Ideally positioned within a short walk of the High Street and St Margaret’s mainline railway station, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street.

About Oliver Minton, Stanstead Abbotts

14 High Street, Stanstead Abbotts, SG12 8AB
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

Our Stanstead Abbotts branch opened in 1999, making us the longest serving Stanstead Abbotts estate agency. That experience gives us great local knowledge of the village and surrounding areas and complemented by our other more rural branches, we cover a wide area north of the M25 including Cheshunt & Broxbourne, across to Harlow and the M11 corridor, and west to the A1 corridor beyond Hertford and Watton-at-Stone. At any one time, it gives us a wonderful cross section of town and village based properties For Sale and To Rent.

Our staff take great pride in really helping to nurse our sales through to exchange and completion - a crucial part of the sales transaction and probably the most stressful part of the moving process. We also sell LAND and NEW HOMES successfully, as described by a recent happy client:

Good morning Oliver. Happy New Year to you. Having the break over Christmas has given me the time to reflect on the year past, as well as what I want to achieve in the year ahead. Having had the time to reflect, I thought I would just drop you a line to say thank you for your help last year. Selling a partly finished building plot, is probably as big a challenge in estate agent terms as it gets, but I have to say what a great job you and your company did. Your persistence in bearing with me at the various stages of the planning and build process to give advice and valuations was instrumental in our success. Your local expertise and contacts obviously sets you apart from the other agents who were also interested in marketing the property. To have relevant buyers lined up for viewings within three days of the listing and to have agreed a sale within 5 days at the full asking price was beyond any realistic expectation we had. Additionally, you getting on the case when needing to when the sale took a little longer the expected, and being calm and sensible when buyers and sellers are at their most volatile was invaluable. Yours sincerely, Kurt C Obeney.
