(Property Ref: 203)

Overall Description

This is a substantial 1930's family home that has been both extended and had a loft conversion to create a surprisingly large and spacious family home on the edge of town and only a short walk to local schools and Hertford North Station. The property has ample living accommodation with a large sitting room with bay window, formal dining room, conservatory, and large kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a utility room and cloakroom downstairs. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms as well as a family bathroom. The property retains much of its original character with open fireplaces, original doors (most with their Bakelite handles) and high ceilings. Outside are lovely large mature gardens of over 250' in length and there is also a double garage with electric doors and private drive with large car parking area. If you want a family home for a large and growing family and a garden with plenty of room for kids to run around and kick a football, then this house could be for you.

Location

This family home sits in on the edge of the popular and picturesque town of Hertford under five minute's walk away from Hertford North station, with its regular services to London, and around 10 minutes walk away from good local shops (including a Co-Op supermarket, butchers, bakers, Post Office and pharmacy). It is also a short walk from excellent schools including Hollybush Primary (a minute's walk), Hertford St Andrews C of E, St Josephs Catholic Primary School and the senior Sele School. Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, as you would expect from a county town, yet is also an attractive and very pleasant place to live, which (along with its excellent transport links - the A414 providing easy access to the A1 and A10) is why it is so popular with young families and commuters. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside (footpaths including the Hertfordshire Chain Walk pass close by) and has a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits close to hand, including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
