" A substantial and very well presented family home with heated pool and one and a quarter acres of paddocks, stables and other outbuildings.

Overall Description This is a large and very well presented semi-detached house that has been much improved and extended in the 37 years that the current family have lived here to create what is now a spacious and comfortable family home with the added and rare advantage of having one and quarter acres for children to play in, keep ponies and generally take full advantage of living a rural/village lifestyle. This is a home for getting your children outside - not hiding in their bedrooms with their Playstations! The house has five good-sized bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom upstairs, while downstairs there is a large entrance hall, shower-room, large kitchen/breakfast/family room and lovely spacious sitting room with French doors opening out to the pool making it the perfect house for parties. There is also a very good selection of outbuildings including stables and a field shelter if you want to keep livestock, two garages for tinkering with cars and two useful large stores. The summerhouse is next to the swimming pool and has potential to convert into an office, games room or even annexe, subject of course to consent. If you are a party minded family who love the outdoors lifestyle but don't want to live too far from excellent schools and other amenities/transport links then you will love this house. Location The property sits in the popular village of Hertford Heath just a mile or two from Hertford and close to the A10. The village is a thriving local community (see the excellent village web site www.hertfordheath.gov.uk) with good local facilities including village shop, village hall, church, garage, four good pubs, and plenty of sports and social clubs. The village is a short drive from Hertford East Station and is also a short drive from the A10, so it is ideal for commuters. There are very good schools in the local area (the excellent Hertford Heath JMI is just down the road from the house and the village is also the home of the Haileybury Public School) 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 (Simon Balle, Richard Hale and Presdales). The town of Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets, as you would expect from a county town. The village is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside and has a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits close to hand, including Hartham Common in Hertford with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
