Barley Croft, Hertford, SG14

A substantially extended semi-detached house with pleasant garden driveway and garage that's close to local schools and other amenities. No Chain.

Overall Description

This semi-detached property sits in a quiet residential location on the edge of Bengeo and has been in the same ownership for over 30 years. The current owners have made significant improvements over the years including adding a two-storey extension to the house to make the sitting room and two principal bedrooms larger. The property has double-glazed windows, gas central-heating and is in good decorative order yet still offers scope for buyers to create a family home to suit their needs and tastes. There is a pleasant back garden with raised patio and a low-maintenance front garden with driveway and garage. This property is being sold with no onward chain. We have an Open House booked from 10am to 11am on Saturday 28th June so please call to book an appointment.

Location

This pleasant family home sits in a quiet location in Bengeo, the ever popular area on the edge of Hertford, just a short walk from the village shop and close to a good range of local amenities including the Co-Op mini supermarket, local pubs, and the highly regarded Bengeo Primary School and Duncombe School. It is also fifteen to twenty minutes walk from both Hertford North and Hertford East railway stations with their regular services to London. Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, as you would expect from a county town, yet is also an attractive and very pleasant place to live, which (along with its excellent transport links) is why it is so popular with young professional families and commuters. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside, right on your doorstep, and has a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits close to hand, including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts. All in all it is an excellent location to bring up a family.
