There is parking for two cars on the drive and a good-sized back garden with central lawn and mature trees. If you are looking for a character home close to Hertford North and a short walk from the town centre then early viewing is recommended.
Location
This lovely period home sits in a highly desirable Port Vale location in Lower Bengeo, just a five minute's walk from Hertford North Station (with its regular services to Finsbury Park and Moorgate) and only a short walk of under ten minutes to the town centre. Hertford East, with regular services to Liverpool Street, is the other side of town and Hertford is also conveniently located for the A10, A414 and A1. Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets, yet is also an attractive and very pleasant place to live, which combined with its excellent transport links, is why it is so popular with young professional couples and commuters moving out of London. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside and has a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits close to hand including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, cycle path, activity centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
