Description

A beautifully converted two-bedroom semi-detached barn, set within an idyllic rural setting surrounded by open countryside and just moments from picturesque woodland walks, yet remaining within easy reach of Hertford town centre. Modernised throughout while retaining a wealth of charming character features, the property offers approximately 870 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation. At its heart is a beautiful living room featuring a log burner, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen and onwards to a versatile study/utility room. There are also two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the property enjoys a private south-facing rear garden, together with access to further communal gardens that open directly onto the surrounding countryside. Two allocated parking spaces complete this delightful country home.
