A charming cottage with scope for extension and remodelling in a delightful semi rural location with excellent amenities in reach.
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage in Kimpton, Hertfordshire, presents a mixed bag of features. Located in a desirable village setting, its semi-rural location and relatively close proximity to Harpenden train station (6.07km) offer convenience. The nearest primary school, Kimpton Primary School, is within walking distance (1.43km), although its Ofsted rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ is worth noting. Other schools are within a slightly longer radius, offering options for families. The property itself boasts a pleasant garden, adding to its appeal. However, the interior appears dated and may require modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom particularly appear to need updating. The photos suggest a degree of wear and tear and older fixtures and fittings. Considering other properties for sale in the same village, the list price of £395,000 appears competitive, if not slightly on the higher end, due to the need for some renovations. Ultimately, this property would suit a buyer looking for a project, who is comfortable with some modernisation work to bring the property into the 21st century.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
