Nestled in the picturesque village of Preston, near Hitchin, this charming three-bedroom cottage sits on a peaceful no-through lane that leads directly into the heart of Hitch Wood.

The property features two generously sized reception rooms, offering ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. Characterful and thoughtfully designed, the interiors blend the charm of a traditional cottage with the potential for modernisation to suit your personal taste. The three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, ideal for families, couples, or those seeking additional space for guests or a home office. The single bathroom is functional and could easily be updated to compliment the character of the home.

One of the standout features of this property is its beautiful, mature garden. Lovingly maintained and well-stocked, the garden offers a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees that create a serene outdoor haven. It's the perfect spot for al fresco dining, gardening enthusiasts, or simply unwinding while soaking in the surrounding countryside views. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, woodland walks are just on your doorstep, offering endless opportunities to explore and enjoy nature. A short circuit from Preston village through Hitch Wood is worth following, especially for the spectacular and magnificent display of bluebells in the spring,

An exciting aspect of this property is its potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP). Whether you envisage a larger kitchen, an additional bedroom, or an extended living area, the possibilities are vast and allow for the creation of a truly bespoke home tailored to your needs.

The detached double garage is another notable feature, providing secure parking and storage. Above the garage is a versatile room that could be used as a home office, studio, or additional storage space. The driveway ensures further off-road parking, adding to the practical benefits of this property.

Located just 4.4 miles from Hitchin train station, the property enjoys excellent transport links for commuters, with regular services offering access to London and beyond. The village setting provides a peaceful retreat while still being within easy reach of the amenities and attractions of Hitchin.
