A substantial modern family home with much character in the highly sought-after Goldings private estate just on the edge of Hertford. No chain.

Overall Description - This is a stunning contemporary family home with considerable character located in the highly desirable Goldings Country Estate with its 110 acres of beautiful parkland for its residents to enjoy. The property has been designed and built to provide the owners with a modern, light and spacious family home that also has lots of character features such as high vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms, a galleried landing overlooking the dining room, Juliet balcony in the master bedroom, wooden flooring and stone fireplaces in both reception rooms. The property was built as a four-bedroom home - but the stud wall has been opened into bedroom four to create a dressing room - although this could be changed back again if so desired. There are two bathrooms upstairs, one being en-suite to the master bedroom, as well as a downstairs toilet. There are two large reception rooms, the sitting room with French doors out to the patio, as well as a fitted kitchen to the front. The property has gardens to the front and the back, both a good-size, the back garden having a raised patio and rear gated access. There is a car-port for one car and an allocated parking space just opposite the property. If you are looking for a practical modern family home with heaps of character and plenty of grounds for children to play safely on site, then this property is definitely worth a visit. The property is being sold with no onward chain.

Location - The Goldings Country Estate is one of the most desirable addresses in Hertford largely because the location, set amongst 110 acres of parkland and lakes, is so beautiful and also so tranquil, but also because it is so conveniently located for local transport links and everything that the picturesque and thriving historic market town of Hertford has to offer. For instance, Hertford North station, with its regular services to London, is only a five minutes drive away, as are good local shops (including a Co-Op supermarket, butchers, bakers, Post Office and pharmacy). The property is close to excellent road links with the A414 giving quick access to the A1 and A10 and on to the M25, and there is a second station, Hertford East as well. The property is close to local schools including Hollybush Primary, Hertford St Andrews C of E, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and The Sele School (a secondary school and sixth form with academy status). Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets and the town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside (footpaths including the Hertfordshire Chain Walk pass close by). There are a wide range of sporting and leisure pursuits close to hand, including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
