Riverside Cottages, Stanstead Abbotts

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