Description

A fine example of a charming country cottage, proudly standing in glorious south facing, wrap around grounds approaching one acre, ‘Walnut Cottage‘ dates to the 1850‘s and has never been formally offered on the open market. The property surprisingly, doesn‘t hold a heritage listing and was thoughtfully extended and greatly improved at the turn of the century by the current owners and still offers the new custodians the scope to further enlarge the existing residence to suit their own requirements, subject of course, to the necessary planning consents.

Wormley West End is a highly sought-after hamlet enjoying the best of both worlds, surrounded by open green belt countryside and various historic woodlands yet within a few minutes‘ drive of neighbouring towns Broxbourne and Hoddesdon, both offering extensive shopping, transport and educational facilities.

Early viewing of this truly enchanting family home in a delightful setting is strongly advised in order to avoid disappointment.

EXTERIOR

Front

Walnut Cottage is approached via five bar double gates which afford access to a shingled driveway allowing parking for several vehicles. The dense hedgerow to the front of the property provides excellent natural screening from the country lane. At night the garden is enhanced by external lighting.

DETACHED GARAGE AND WORKSHOP This building offers scope for alternative uses including a home office or gym.

Rear Garden

The wrap around gardens are a delightful feature of the property being south facing and directly backing onto woodland. Principally laid to lawn on different gradients the garden can be divided into separate areas and could easily reinstate the productive vegetable garden it once had. The woodland creates an excellent backdrop and degree of seclusion to the property together with panelled fencing and well established shrub and hedge borders adding colour and interest throughout the seasons whilst dispersed throughout the garden are a number of mature specimen trees including: willow, Scotts pine, silver birches and magnolias to name just a few and not forgetting the large rhododendron shrub that provides a majestic splash of colour when in bloom. There are both external power and water connections. Throughout the garden are several sheds and a summer house. Directly behind the property is a paved sun terrace arranged over two levels and offers a sunny aspect from where to sit and enjoy the garden.
