OWNERS THOUGHTS

We fell for 57 High Street as soon as we entered the front door. This unique property with it's abundance of character would become the home for some very important milestones in our lives as a young family. The house feels safe, private and cosy and suits all the seasons. 

In the summer, we have enjoyed our long garden growing vegetables, learning to ride bikes and having coffee and ice creams in the sun trap near the kitchen window but we've found that you can always enjoy sun somewhere in the garden. The magnolia tree that hangs over from the next doors garden reminds us of the seasons and in the spring you can wake up to the pink blossom from the main bedroom. In the autumn and winter, this house is the perfect cosy sanctuary, we often have candlelit dinner parties in the dining room and light the working fire in the evenings.

When we first bought the house we had every intention of building a garage and a driveway as they have next door, the landlord who owns number 59 is really nice and offered to provide his suppliers. If we were staying we would also knock through the kitchen diner and extend into the garden up to the threshold of number 59. 

Codicote itself has everything you could ask for from a working village. It has every amenity you could ask for, including an Ofsted rated Outstanding Primary school, but for us it has been perfect for indulging our love for food, foraging and nature. We are on first name terms with the The Farm Butchery where everything is reared locally and Costcutters get their fruit and veg from Covent Garden market suppliers so it is always really good quality. Cafe 77 in the car park of The Goat provides a seriously good burger and just past the village you'll find Spoke - a cycle cafe with goats and donkeys where you can find us most weekends with a coffee and a toastie. Although Codicote has no train station, we've found being equidistant from WGC, Stevenage, Knebworth and Hitchin as meant we have never struggled to get into London. 

The house is peaceful and quiet but a stones throw away from all the best things North Herts has to offer and no more than 3 minutes from the shop if you need some emergency milk!
