Hoddesdon Road, Stanstead Abbotts

Having been in the same ownership for over 40 years, this rarely available, extended semi-detached house is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac location, providing ample space for comfortable family living and although thoughtfully extended to the ground floor already, there is still scope to further alter/enlarge (subject to the usual planning permissions)

Set in a prime position, the house is conveniently located within close proximity to shops and transport links, including St. Margaret’s railway station, Stanstead Abbotts High Street and local schooling.

This fabulous home has a light and airy feel throughout and has also recently had a new combination gas fired boiler installed for a new owner’s convenience.

The accommodation offers: Traditional entrance hall, open plan living/dining room, conservatory with direct access to the garden, good size kitchen with granite counter tops and doors to the guest cloakroom/w.c. and integral garage.
On the first floor, there are three good size bedrooms all of which are served by the family bathroom and separate w.c.

The property's private rear garden, backing the New River, provides an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation. The current owners love of the garden is very apparent, with a fabulous variety of mature planting, providing interest and colour throughout the seasons. The front garden provides a most attractive first impression, together with driveway parking adjacent additional small plot of land just opposite the house, currently planted, but could be ideal for extra parking if required.

Location - The property is conveniently located for all village amenities and for access to local shopping with the market towns of Ware and Hertford easily accessible for multiple shopping and sporting facilities, schooling for all ages and mainline railway stations providing commuter services to London.
