The kitchen is a very good size, enjoying windows to a dual aspect, a range of base and wall units, composite and wood worktops, tiled flooring, exposed beams and upstands, inset lighting, an integrated hob and extractor hood, and space for a dishwasher and other small kitchen appliances. The utility room provides excellent further storage and space for larger laundry appliances.

The garden room offers further versatile reception space, with tiled flooring and lots of room for seating. There is access through to the fantastic barn with room above and a workshop, which enjoy excellent storage as well as conversion potential into further living space if desired, subject to the correct planning permissions.
Upstairs to the first floor, this detached period cottage continues to offer beautiful and spacious accommodation, with 3 well-proportioned double bedrooms, integrated storage, and a family bathroom, comprising a shower, WC and hand wash basin. The second bedroom also benefits from a very large en-suite, with a bath and hand wash basin.
Outside, to the rear, the gardens are an incredibly good size, fully enclosed by delightful walls, hedgerows and fencing, and offering multiple areas of interest and spots to sit and relax on warmer days. It is laid mainly to lawn, with a large gravelled terrace by the house, providing space for a range of garden furniture, enjoying family meals and entertaining guests. There are well-maintained borders and beds full of colourful plants, mature trees and shrubs, access to a large shed, and huge scope for new owners to put their own stamp on things.

Location - barkway
Barkway is a long-established village in the North Hertfordshire, about five miles south-east of Royston, 35 miles from London and 15 miles from the centre of Cambridge. Barkway is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside but you are also ideally located close to many major road networks such as the A10 and M11, within 30 minutes' drive of Stansted airport and if you like to go in to London by train or you're a commuter then Royston station is approximately a 10 minute drive away with multiple trains each hour to London Kings Cross, as quick as 38 minutes.
The village itself has a real sense of community with many clubs and groups. For education you have Barkway va Church of England First School and there are other local primary schools in nearby villages, a selection of secondary schools or private education. The village has many amenities including the new ' Barkway Pavilion' and community room situated on Barkway recreation ground. The Tally Ho pub is popular with the locals, whether your looking to have a quick drink, something to eat or perhaps to join in with the local quiz night. Other notable hotspots within the village include the Village Hall, The Reading Room, The Wagon Wash as well as The Church and The Chapel.
Just a couple of miles up the road you have the equally beautiful village of Barley which has a village shop, garage, doctors surgery and the 'Fox & Hounds' village pub, a recently renovated pub and restaurant that people come from miles around to visit that has already been nominated for a Michelin star and voted in the top 50 gastropubs in the country. If you're looking for a supermarket then Royston has a Tesco, Marks & Spencers, and Aldi. If you don't know Barkway, take a visit today, you may well want to make this your forever home!
