" A hidden oasis in the middle of Hertford: character Grade II Listed Victorian conversion with gloriously private and mature gardens just a couple of minute's from Hertford North.

Overall Description This superb apartment is part of a former conversion of this Grade II Listed Victorian detached house sited at the entrance to Sele Mill, now an exclusive gated community of period apartments in what was the mill. The apartment is very unusual for the area with its high 10'3 ceilings giving it a real sense of space throughout and period features such as sash windows and picture rails giving it great character. The main sitting room has an attractive open fireplace, exposed floorboards and glazed door out to the garden. The master bedroom also has French doors into the good-sized garden which is the major feature of the apartment being wonderfully private with two ponds, mature trees, shrubs and climbers making it a hidden oasis in the middle of Hertford. If you are looking for a character property, close to local amenities, that is unlike anything else in the area then viewing is essential. Location This apartment is located in a very convenient central location in Hertford and is just a few minutes walk to Hertford North Station with a regular service to Moorgate via Finsbury Park and around ten minutes from Hertford East servicing Liverpool Street. The road links are also excellent with the A10 leading to the M25, and the A414 heading to the A1. Hertford, the historic county town of Hertfordshire, has a very good range of facilities including shops, schools, theatre, sports clubs and also has many excellent restaurants and a lively night life. There is further shopping close by at Hatfield's Galleria and Welwyn Garden City (John Lewis, Debenhams).

There are five flats in Sele House each with a share of freehold and each with a Director on the management committee. The service charge is ?1,200 per annum and a portion of this goes into a sink fund for painting/repairs to the building. The flat is responsible for 20% of any work on the building (the flat roof was done recently and the building is due for painting next year). The service charge covers buildings insurance - the building is not covered for flood damage as after the cellar in the next door apartment flooded a few years back the committee deemed it to be not worth the extra money. There is no ground rent.
