3 bedroom House - Semi-Detached (Sold)
Overview
EXCELLENT PROJECT: A good-sized family home with garage, driveway, large garden and considerable potential that is in need of total internal modernisation. NO CHAIN. (Property Ref: ProbateBureau)
Overall Description
This is a 1970's semi-detached house in a pleasant quiet cul-de-sac location just a short walk from local schools, the station and the other local shops and amenities that this popular village has to offer. The house is a good size and has double-glazed windows and gas central heating, but it is in need of complete internal modernisation. However it does offer buyers a rare opportunity to create a family home to their own tastes and also has potential either to extend to the rear or into the garage to create extra living accommodation if so desired(subject to the usual consents). Upstairs there is a large master bedroom, second double-bedroom, single bedroom, shower room and separate cloakroom. Downstairs is an entrance hall, large sitting/dining room and kitchen. There is a driveway in the front garden, garage (with potential to convert into further living accommodation if required - subject to consent) and side gate to the good-sized and westerly facing back garden. If you are looking for a bit of a project and want to create a modern family home in a picturesque Hertfordshire village with very good local amenities and transport links, then this property is well worth a look. This property is being sold with no chain. We have an Open House viewing booked from 10am to 11am on Saturday the 11th of May so please call to book a viewing.
Location
This family home sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Watton-at-Stone and in the catchment area for the village Preschool, Primary and Nursery School. The village is popular with commuters because it has a railway station (under 5 minutes walk away) on the loop line between Hertford and Stevenage, with regular trains to Finsbury Park and Moorgate (30-40 minutes journey). Watton At Stone is a thriving community with very good village facilities including St Mary's Church, the Methodist Church, the Memorial Hall, doctor's surgery, dentists, playing fields, village shop (now a Londis), village bakers/cafe, family butchers, hairdressers, Chinese take-away, two very good pubs and even a garden nursery. The location is especially popular with young families who want to live a quieter more rural lifestyle with their children - the River Beane runs through the village and there are plenty of footpaths leading out across the beautiful surrounding countryside. Further amenities, senior schools and High St shops are to be found in both Hertford and Stevenage and the village is accessible to the A1 at Stevenage and A10/A414 at Ware.
