The warm red brick of Georgian Cobweb Cottage contrasts pleasingly with the cool hues of its tastefully appointed interior.
Once three properties, now one Grade II-listed family home, it has four bedrooms, underfloor heating, period fireplaces, a carport for four vehicles and a good-sized private garden and is flooded with natural light.
With chic, meticulously restored interiors, the cottage — currently on the market via Nash Partnership with a guide price of £750,000 — combines lovely period features with fresh and bright living spaces.
It faces onto Wheelers Yard, a little courtyard at the centre of the village of Long Marston, near Tring and Berkhamsted, not to mention peaceful walks along the Grand Union Canal. Planning permission exists for a single-storey kitchen extension.
Cobweb Cottage is currently on the market via Nash Partnership with a guide price of £750,000 — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
