Inside, the cottage is warm, welcoming, and full of charm. The main reception room on the ground floor enjoys garden views and features exposed brickwork surrounding a working coal-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point. The lower ground level offers a stylish, recently fitted kitchen with direct access to the garden, along with a modern bathroom. On the upper floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms are accompanied by a separate shower room, providing flexibility for guests, home working, or family living.
Outside, the south-west facing garden is a standout feature. Gently sloping down to the riverbank, it provides a private vantage point to enjoy wildlife, peaceful views, and long summer evenings by the water. While the rear is beautifully tranquil, the front places you moments from village amenities including shops, cafés, pubs, and everyday essentials. Excellent transport links are close by, with regular London-bound services available from both Welwyn North and Knebworth stations.
With the perfect blend of convenience, character and a truly extraordinary natural backdrop, this riverside cottage offers a lifestyle very few homes can match.
