Riverside, Folly Island, Hertford, Hertfordshire, SG14

Located on Folly Island, is this beautifully enhanced riverside cottage with peaceful private garden. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and charm on offer. No upward chain!

Soon to feature on an ITV drama this property boasts two reception rooms, newly fitted modern kitchen, and downstairs bathroom and to the first floor two double bedrooms and loft room with Velux window (subject to planning permission, the loft could be converted to create a third bedroom with fixed staircase).

This property has been significantly enhanced in recent years, offering a delightful blend of period character and modern convenience. Original features such as working fireplaces, oak wood flooring, solid wood doors, and sash windows are beautifully complemented by contemporary upgrades, including a brand-new kitchen, a stylish fitted bathroom, and a newly landscaped garden that provides a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy summer days. Practical improvements include underfloor heating, a newly installed staircase—replacing the traditional steep steps—and added soundproofing for enhanced comfort.

Hertford town centre offers a wealth of local amenities, including independent cafés, restaurants, pubs, and a variety of retail shops. In recent years, the town has seen significant redevelopment, particularly across the river at Lea Wharf and at the newly rebranded Hertford Theatre, now known as Beam.

This location offers excellent access to both Hertford East and Hertford North rail stations, each just a short walk away. Both stations provide direct routes into central London and convenient connections to the Underground network.

Hertford is located within an enviable position surrounded by some very beautiful countryside as well as sporting and leisure activities including Hartham Common with its riverside walks and cycle path, activity centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
