Set behind mature hedging and trees and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a gravelled driveway and forecourt providing private parking for several vehicles and giving access to the garage attached to the house. The generous well-maintained garden to the rear is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked shrub beds and mature specimen trees. It features numerous seating areas and a generous paved terrace accessible from the living and kitchen/dining rooms, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The front and back garden has a useful irrigation system.

The property sits in a Conservation Area on the sought-after south side of the popular and historic market town of Hertford, which offers independent and high street shopping, supermarkets, services, cafés, restaurants and recreational and leisure facilities including a bowling green, tennis courts and a leisure centre with swimming pool. The outdoor enthusiast is well catered for: the town sits at the confluence of four rivers, providing easy access to miles of walks, and also benefits from several golf courses. Transportation links are excellent: the A1(M) and M25 give access to the motorway network, and Hertford’s two mainline stations (East 0.9 mile, North 1.0 mile) offer fast, regular services into central London.
