The Property
Cheshunt House & Hair Studio offers the potential purchasers an opportunity to acquire an immaculately presented period cottage (not listed) and the additional benefit of a shop/business if required. The cottage dates back to the 17th century and part of the property is currently set up as a business run by the owners, but could be changed to suit a number of different propositions. On entering the main cottage, you will find a hallway, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room and study on the ground floor. A staircase then leads up to the split level landing, where three bedrooms and a bathroom can be found. The house is presented exceptionally well and offers many original features including an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and studwork.
At the front of the property is the shop, which offers excellent window frontage onto Ipswich Road. The room is currently set up as a hair dressing studio with a rear lobby/wash area. The accommodation is divided from the main house but could easily be incorporated into the main cottage accommodation (subject to planning permission).
Outside
To the side of the property is a generously sized gravel driveway with ample off road parking. Beyond the driveway are a number of outbuildings which comprises two store rooms (9'11 x 8'5) & (14'5 x 10') and laundry room (10'4 x 5'5). The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area stretching along the back of the property. The gardens are very private and face West. In addition there is a small front garden.
