Description

This 1930s semi-detached house offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with renovation potential in a desirable area. Located just a short stroll from Hertford North mainline train station, the home is ideally situated for commuters, providing easy access to central London and other surrounding areas. The residence features a classic three-bedroom layout, although it is currently configured as a spacious two-bedroom home with a convenient first-floor bathroom. The ground floor comprises a generous reception room and a separate dining area that could be reimagined to better suit modern living needs. The kitchen, while functional, presents an opportunity for updating or reconfiguration, allowing for personal touches that reflect your style. Outside, the property includes a front driveway and gated side access leading to a garage. The mature rear garden not only offers outdoor space but also houses a detached brick-built outhouse that could be transformed into a workshop or studio, subject to planning permissions. Given its need for full modernization, this property is perfect for buyers who are willing to undertake renovations and enhancements. With the possibility of extending the home further (again, subject to planning), there’s considerable scope here for value addition. Chain-free availability makes this an attractive proposition for those eager to step into the Hertford market with an eye toward potential future gains.
