Description

Located on the edge of the charming village of Widford, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The home is arranged over two levels, featuring an entrance hall that leads to a cloakroom and a staircase to the upper floor. The dual-aspect living room boasts parquet flooring and sliding doors that open onto the rear garden, providing a seamless connection to outdoor space. Adjacent to the living area is a dining room with access to the kitchen, which includes an oil-fired boiler, ample eye-level and base storage cupboards, an inset oven, four-ring electric hob, and provisions for a fridge. A utility room enhances functionality by offering extra space for a freezer, tumble dryer, and washing machine, along with another door leading outside. On the first floor, you will find a landing with loft access leading to four bedrooms; three are generously sized doubles while one is a compact single. The property features a recently updated bathroom with a modern three-piece suite and an additional shower room. Outside, the front of the house is complemented by a gravel driveway capable of accommodating four vehicles and leads to a double garage equipped with an electric door along with light and power supply—ideal for various uses. An attached brick-built stable offers potential for conversion into a gym or studio space. The mature rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established shrubbery and trees lining the borders, creating an inviting environment complete with a sun terrace at the back—perfect for outdoor gatherings. Widford itself is an appealing East Hertfordshire village that boasts its own primary school and is located just three miles from Ware. Here you'll find excellent amenities including a mainline railway station offering direct services to London (Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes). Harlow’s station provides even quicker access at around 30 minutes. Additionally, proximity to the A10 allows straightforward connections to London, the M25, Cambridge, and beyond. The market town of Bishop's Stortford lies about nine miles away and offers further shopping options along with educational facilities and recreational activities.
