2 Monkswood Cottages is one of a pair of cottages situated on the eastern side of Woodside Green which is managed by the National Trust and adjoins Hatfield Forest which is a significant area of pastures, lakes and woodlands and a lovely place for recreational walks. The area continues to be popular with commuters as it is in easy reach of the M11 and the market town of Bishop Stortford where there is a mainline train station. There are several notable villages close by which include Hatfield Broad Oak and Hatfield Heath. The property appears to be conventionally constructed in brick and is possibly Victorian or Edwardian. The property enjoys a good size plot of just under a fifth of an acre.
The property has a private driveway which leads behind and beside the gardens to an area of hardstanding and parking for one or two vehicles. There is a small brick barn which could provide garaging, a recreation room, a studio or additional accommodation, subject to the relevant consents. Adjoining this building there is a modern single garage.
The house requires some repair and significant modernisation. The property is set over two floors (the floor plan shows the layout). On the ground floor there are two reception rooms, a downstairs bathroom and a kitchen. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, of which one is likely to be converted into an additional bathroom.
Beside the parking area there is a gate to the gardens which are just under 1/5th of an acre and they are presently a blank canvas where, someone could create a fine garden.
ACCESS: The property is accessed from the highway over land owned by the National Trust. The purchasers will pay a reasonable proportion towards the future maintenance of the driveway.
AGENTS NOTES: There is currently a septic tank within the grounds of the cottage which is shared with the neighbouring house. It will probably be necessary to upgrade this system to provide a Bio Disc or a Klargester.
We understand that Gigaclear Superfast broadband is available in the vicinity of the property.
