Talbot Street, Hertford, SG13 7BX

This charming unlisted 2/3 bedroom 2 bath/shower-room semi-detached former railway cottage dates back to the late 1600s offering an abundance of character & original features throughout.

Positioned in a secluded location just off Talbot Street in the town centre, the property is approached through an iron gate leading into a delightful and attractive garden with bespoke privacy fencing and iron gates.

The present owners have meticulously upgraded the property to a high standard while also carrying out a two-storey extension to create the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and guest cloakroom/WC, plus an additional bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

This quirky and characterful home offers good sized accommodation throughout. The ground floor comprises two reception rooms, an extended kitchen/breakfast room, a utility area and a guest cloakroom/WC.

The first floor boasts a delightful principal bedroom: a generous double room with two sets of fitted double wardrobes and a striking stained-glass window. There is also an open-plan bedroom/study that leads through to the main bathroom. The newly extended third bedroom is bright and airy, enhanced by a rooflight and vaulted ceiling, and benefits from a well-appointed en-suite shower room.

Outside

Externally, the property offers a delightful, secluded garden with handmade privacy fencing. The garden is a manageable size, with a lawned area leading to a lovely patio that is ideal for al fresco dining during the warmer months. There is also a useful and versatile brick-built outbuilding, ideal for storage but with the potential to be used as a gym, office or workshop; it benefits from wall-mounted heating and electricity.

Situation

The property is approximately a seven-minute walk from Hertford East station, which offers direct services to Liverpool Street, and around a 15-minute walk from Hertford town centre, with its shops and restaurants.

Hertford offers the best of country living within easy reach of the capital. Hertford Castle overlooks the town, while four rivers run through its heart, linking it to an assortment of country walks. Two stations connect the town to Moorgate and Liverpool Street, making it a popular location for city workers.

The property is conveniently located for access to some of the area's most highly rated and sought-after primary and secondary schools, including Simon Balle, Richard Hale and Presdales.

The town's prestigious schools and market-town architecture make it ideal for family life, as well as for those seeking a quiet place to settle down. Property supply is limited, and the area's rich history, culture and beauty mean that homes here command a premium. Property Ref Number: HAM-7247
