Description

This property, dating back to the 1930s, offers significant potential for renovation and investment in a convenient location just a short drive from the A10. With history and character, 'Fairview' features solid brick construction with a rendered exterior and has been home to the same owners for over five decades. It has seen some updates, including double glazing and a relatively new shower room, but further modernisation is necessary throughout the house and outbuildings. The layout includes well-sized rooms with high ceilings, with an entrance hall leading into both a sitting room and drawing room. One notable feature is the separate annexe that offers a bedroom, shower room, and utility space—an excellent opportunity for merging or enhancing living areas. Upstairs reveals two spacious double bedrooms along with two large singles and another modernised shower room. Externally, the property boasts generous parking facilities alongside a garage potentially in need of replacement. The grounds are established but may require landscaping attention, featuring fruit trees and several outbuildings including a timber-framed stable block in poor condition and a dilapidated static home—ideal candidates for refurbishment or redevelopment. Located close to Hertford and Ware with easy access to transport links makes this property an attractive project for those looking to invest in a promising area.
