Laurel Cottage is an impressive character property property providing flexible accommodation with five reception rooms. The décor could benefit from some modernisation, but there are various attractive original details, including exposed timber beams and brick-built fireplaces.
The ground floor reception rooms include the well-proportioned, triple aspect sitting room with its grand inglenook fireplace. There is also a drawing room with a bay window overlooking the rear garden, a formal dining room, a comfortable family room and a study which has a built-in sauna. The kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, as well as space for all the necessary appliances.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, while one bedroom features its own washbasin. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom with a heated town rail and over-bath shower. Laurel Cottage is locally listed.
The property is located in a pretty hamlet just outside the picturesque and sought-after village of Wheathampstead, two miles east of the popular town of Harpenden. The village offers plenty of local amenities, including several shops, a local supermarket, pubs and restaurants, a post office and a doctor’s surgery. There are several good schools in the local area, including the outstanding-rated High Beeches Primary School and The Grove Infant and Nursery School, while the independent Aldwickbury School is also close-at-hand. Harpenden is just a short drive away, offering further amenities including a good choice of shops and supermarkets, and its mainline station, which provides fast and regular services to London (25 minutes to London St. Pancras). By road, the A1(M) is less than four miles away, while the M1 is also within easy reach.
The property is set in an attractive and extensive garden. At the front there is a driveway with parking space for several vehicles and access to the integrated garage for further parking or home storage. The front garden has a pond and well-stocked border beds with flowering perennials and a wealth of shrubs and hedgerows. The garden extends to the side and rear, with rolling lawns and various shrubs, mature trees and well-maintained hedgerows.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
