" A substantial extended semi-detached home with magnificent detached studio in the garden offering large and flexible family accommodation in an excellent SG13 location.

Overall Description This substantial semi-detached 1930s property has been extended and much improved by the current owners to create a large and flexible family home. Located in an excellent SG13 post code, so in the catchment of the best local schools and is an easy walk to town and Hertford East station. The addition of a large detached studio with vaulted ceiling at the bottom of the garden raises this property above its peers and makes it the ultimate family and party house (the studio is currently used as a family TV and entertaining space but could also be used as a home office, games room, gym or as a place for teenagers to escape from their parents (or visa versa!). The best feature of the main house is the basement conversion and rear extension which has created a large light kitchen/dining room, fitted out with hand made units, and a lovely snug family sitting room with wood-burning stove. The property has five bedrooms, a bathroom and a cloakroom over the top two floors, a study that can double up as a sixth bedroom with its hidden pull down double bed, and a second sitting room. The owners have full planning consent to convert the loft into a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The garden is lovely and private with patio areas in front of the kitchen and studio, ideal for entertaining al fresco. A back gate leads out onto the street where there is plenty of parking. If you have a large and growing family and need a house where you can all live together without getting on top of one another, then do come and have a look around this large character home. Location The property is located on the Ware Road within walking distance of Hertford East Station and the town, and a short drive from the A10, so it is ideal for commuters. There are also very good schools in the local area and the property sits within the sought after SG13 catchment area, so perfect for families wishing to send their children to the better local schools. 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 families and commuters. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside 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.
