Firs WalkTewin, Welwyn, AL6 0NZ

Offered to the open market for the first time since it was built in 1939, and set within the highly regarded Firs Walk, a private enclave of distinguished period homes, Minden Cottage occupies a magnificent plot of approximately 1.1 acres in a wonderful position backing directly onto open countryside. The property is approached via a sweeping driveway and sits well back within its mature gardens, providing an exceptional sense of space, privacy and seclusion. The space to the side and rear of the house offers substantial potential for enlargement, redevelopment or remodelling, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The generous grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features, with extensive gardens wrapping around the house and uninterrupted views across adjoining farmland.
The handsome Tudor style elevations give the house considerable character and charm, while the existing accommodation extends to over two floors and offers excellent family living space.

The ground floor comprises a particularly large dual purpose family room overlooking the gardens with open fire and light living space for the family, a formal drawing room with large open fireplace, a kitchen/dining room, utility room and a versatile fifth bedroom or study.

On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom enjoying lovely views across the surrounding grounds. Above, an extensive loft space presents further opportunity for conversion and enhancement, subject to the usual consents.

A key attraction of Minden Cottage is the exceptional amount of space to the side of the house, which presents a rare opportunity to create a substantial extension, significantly increasing the accommodation. Alternatively, purchasers may wish to explore the potential for a comprehensive redevelopment or a replacement dwelling, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The driveway affords parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached garage with store. To the rear of the house there is a westerly facing terrace that overlooks the extensive lawn and woodland beyond, including a large summer house.

Minden Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a family home of great character on one of Tewin's most desirable private roads, combining an enviable rural outlook with outstanding potential to create a truly exceptional country house.
