Brickendon Green, Brickendon

A modern extended family home, with stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room and large garden, directly opposite the green in the heart of this sought-after village.

Overall Description - This mid-terraced 1930's property has been significantly altered and improved by its current owners with the addition of a substantial single-storey extension to the rear, to create a large, open-plan kitchen/dining room with folding doors opening out into the garden, as well as a utility room and downstairs shower room. Also downstairs is a good-sized sitting room with open fireplace as well as a family room which could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office if so required. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two being doubles, and a nicely appointed bathroom with potential for a loft conversion to add further bedrooms as others have in the area (subject to the usual consents). The house has a large driveway with ample off-street parking to the front, while the back garden is a good size, with a raised decking area overlooking the fields behind. If you are looking for a modern and spacious family home in the heart of a village community, with easy access to London, then look no further. We are holding an Open House on Saturday 11th April from 1pm until 2pm. Please call to book an appointment.

Location - The property is located directly opposite the village green - with its children's play area and, at the far end, kids football pitch - in the picturesque Hertfordshire village of Brickendon. The village is a thriving community with village hall, church (the Arts & Crafts Chapel of the Holy Cross & St Alban), several clubs and other activities (see for details), a friendly local pub (The Farmer's Boy) with its farm shop, tennis club and the renowned Brickendon Grange Golf Club. The village is one of the most sought after in the area, not only for the beautiful countryside that surrounds it, including Broxbourne Woods (Hertfordshire's only National Nature Reserve), but also for its excellent transport links to London, with Bayford Station a 10 minute walk away (with regular services to Moorgate and Kings Cross) and easy access to the A1, A10 and M25. There are excellent public and state schools in the local area including the Bayford C of E Primary school and the Richard Hale and Simon Balle senior schools in Hertford, just 3 miles away. Hertford has an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, restaurants, supermarkets, a regular market, the newly refurbished Beam theatre and the castle with its gardens.
