2 bedroom Apartment (Sold)

Overall Description

This first floor maisonette has the added advantage of having its own front door at ground level and is part of a conversion of a period property in lower Bengeo, a nice quiet location adjacent to the old disused steam railway line that is now effectively a woodland and de-facto nature reserve and over which the apartment has pleasant views. The property was modernised by its current owners who fitted a nice contemporary kitchen with fitted units and white/brown goods as well as a stylish modern fully tiled bathroom with bath and separate double-shower. They have also recently paid to have the lease extended to 999 years and there are consequently low service charges and no ground rent. The main living room is open-plan to the kitchen with a breakfast bar with marble work-top and there are two good-sized bedrooms. Outside there is a gravel driveway with allocated parking space as well as a communal garden area. The property comes with gas central-heating and double-glazed windows and it also has a valuable share of freehold.

Location

This stylish maisonette is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just a short walk from Hertford North Station as well as being under ten minutes level walk from the town centre. It is also a short walk from the Millstream Pub with its pleasant beer garden and a similar distance from the well-regarded Millmead Primary School. The picturesque market town of Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets and is an attractive and very pleasant place to live, which (along with its excellent transport links) is why it is so popular with young professional couples and families many of whom commute to London. There is a second station, Hertford East, with services to Liverpool Street and the A10 and A1 are easily accessible. 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 and cycle path, activity centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
