Description

This distinctive 3-bedroom semi-detached home in the desirable village of High Cross presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated on a generous corner plot, this property boasts a substantial rear garden and convenient driveway parking accessible from the rear. The layout currently includes a self-contained annexe, providing flexibility for various living arrangements or the potential to expand the main home (subject to planning permissions). Inside, the main house features two spacious reception rooms, a functional kitchen, two well-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The entrance hall is bright and welcoming, leading into the sizeable lounge with its feature wood-burning stove and double sliding doors that open onto the conservatory – ideal for additional reception space filled with natural light. The first floor accommodates two large double bedrooms with built-in storage options along with a family bathroom. The self-contained annexe enhances this property’s appeal; it could remain as an independent living space or be reintegrated into the main house to create an expansive family home. The outdoor area is particularly noteworthy, featuring an exceptionally large garden that is fully enclosed, offering immense potential for landscaping or even possible extensions (STPP). This south-facing outdoor space provides an excellent environment for gardening enthusiasts and those who wish to entertain outdoors. High Cross itself benefits from its tranquil countryside setting while remaining close to essential amenities found in nearby Ware and Hertford, including shops, schools, and transport links into London. This combination of location and property versatility marks it as an attractive proposition for investors or families seeking their dream home with room to grow.
