House For Sale £695,000
A wonderful example of a mid-century family home located in one of East Hertfordshire's most sought after and pretty villages. Defined by the high-pitched asymmetrical roof, large multi-paned windows and the pale brickwork, all design elements that houses from this era and stature can boast., the house commands a generous, slightly elevated corner plot and benefits from ample driveway parking, a garage and mature rear garden.
Requiring some cosmetic updating, it is a chance to treasure the rare design from the past, and sympathetically enhance it, to suit the modern lifestyle and expectations of the 21st century.
In brief, the accommodation offers: Enclosed entrance porch, guest cloakroom/w.c., light and airy living room, separate dining room and kitchen. Four generous bedrooms and a family bathroom make up the first floor layout.
The property is enviably located towards the edge of the pretty and highly sought after village of Braughing, situated just off the A10, in between Hertford to the south and Buntingford to the north. This quintessential English village is surrounded by beautiful countryside with some wonderful footpaths and bridleways, a cricket field, tennis courts, village hall and the famous 'ford'.
Amenities include a regarded primary school, community centre and three public houses/eateries. A more extensive range of services are provided in the nearby market towns of Buntingford (3.7 miles), Bishop's Stortford (6.8 miles), Ware (8.6 miles) and Hertford (11.6 miles).
The property offers good access to London and Cambridge via the A10, A120 and M11. Bishop's Stortford, Ware, Hertford and Royston all offer direct services to London, making the location ideal for commuting. Stansted Airport is also approximately 13.9 miles away.
