" An immaculately presented and much improved Victorian family home with south facing garden and views across the Lea Valley.

Overall Description This most attractive Victorian Villa has been comprehensively updated and modernised by its current owner to create a stylish contemporary family home that still retains its period character, including original open fireplaces. The list of improvements is exhaustive but includes a brand new luxury kitchen with high end appliances, new reclaimed Welsh slate roof, engineered oak flooring downstairs, a brand new quality bathroom suite and partial re-wiring. The property has three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and the previous owner converted the second floor to make a sizeable loft room which has potential to create a fourth bedroom with a new staircase (subject to building control approval). Downstairs there is a sitting room, dining room, stylish new kitchen, conservatory and downstairs cloakroom. The back garden is south facing with a good-sized patio, area of lawn and side entrance, and there is a private drive with off-street parking to the front. If you are looking for a family home with scope for a growing family in the SG13 school catchment area then this delightful property could be for you. Location The property sits in an elevated position towards the edge of the popular town of Hertford with views across the Lea Valley opposite. There are very good schools in the local area (Simon Balle, Presdales, Richard Hale) and the property sits within the sought after SG13 catchment area, an important factor when buying a family home in Hertford. It is even on a bus route to Hertford and Ware which is excellent for the kids getting to and from school. The house is around a fifteen minute's walk from Hertford East Station and a short drive from the A10, so it is ideal for commuters. Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, as you would expect from a historic market 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. 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. A footpath leading to the Kings Mead Nature Reserve and riverside walks is a couple of hundred yards up the road for keen walkers.
