4 bedroom House - Detached (Sold)

Overall Description

This is a large detached family home in a pleasant, quiet and private cul-de-sac location on the edge of Hertford, with beautiful views to the rear over the local countryside. The property has been a much loved, comfortable and well looked after family home for many years, so is lovely as it is, yet also has scope for extending, re-modelling or updating to provide a lovely large modern home for the next family lucky enough to live here. There are four bedrooms on the first floor (three with views to the rear), the master bedroom being a really good size with an en-suite bathroom, and there is also a separate family bathroom. Downstairs there is a spacious hallway, cloakroom, two reception rooms, study and kitchen with utility room. The back garden is a good-size and faces due south with fields directly behind. There is a driveway with ample parking space and a double-garage. This is a rare opportunity to create a large modern family home of your dreams in such a quiet, private, tucked away position, just along from Simon Balle School, so viewing is highly recommended.

Location

The property is located at the end of a quiet and private cul-de-sac on the very edge of Hertford, with open countryside directly behind, so a pleasant, family-friendly and private place to live. However, it is also just a short walk from the town centre and Hertford East station, and a short drive from the A10, so it is very convenient and an ideal location for commuters wanting easy access to the City. There are very good schools in the local area, including Simon Balle which is a couple of minutes walk away, and the SG13 postcode is popular for that reason as it is the catchment area for some of the most sought-after local schools. Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as independent and High Street shops, supermarkets (Tesco, M&S, Sainsburys, Aldi), regular markets, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops yet it is also an attractive and very pleasant place to live with a vibrant local community. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside (easily accessed up the lane outside) and also has a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
