2 bed terraced house for sale

West Street, Hertford SG13

A truly enchanting Grade II Listed period home, masterfully arranged over three floors on one of Hertford’s most historic and sought-after streets. This exceptional residence is a masterclass in preserved heritage, showcasing spectacular exposed brickwork, rugged oak beams, and soaring ceilings. Seamlessly blending its 17th-century soul with refined modern comforts-including a refurbished kitchen and a stylish four-piece bathroom-the property is offered Chain Free. It represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a home with genuine architectural drama and a "lock-up-and-leave" lifestyle in a prime town-centre location.

Step Inside:

The journey begins on the ground floor in a captivating refurbished kitchen/dining area, defined by rustic slate flagstone flooring and a magnificent wide brick inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and integrated appliances, leading through to a practical utility room. Adjacent, the spacious downstairs bathroom serves as a stylish sanctuary. Clad in crisp white metro tiles, it features a four-piece suite comprising a walk-in shower, a separate corner bath, and a modern floating washbasin. Traditional elements like the period-style radiator, mahogany-seat WC, and a grand gold-framed vintage mirror perfectly bridge the gap between old and new.

Ascending the timber staircase to the first floor, you enter a space of incredible volume and texture. This expansive level showcases a spectacular array of exposed wall and ceiling timbers and a towering brick chimney breast with a log-burning stove. Currently utilised as both a sitting room and an adjoining sleeping area, the generous footprint and high ceilings offer significant potential to partition the space to create two formal, well-proportionsed rooms.

The second floor is dedicated to the impressive principal bedroom, a grand retreat set within the characterful roofline. This room is bathed in natural light thanks to twin dormer windows and features unique, undulating whitewashed timber-framed walls that highlight the building's historic skeleton.

Step Outside:

While the property is designed for effortless, low-maintenance living without a private garden, it is situated on the literal doorstep of Hertford’s finest green lungs. A short stroll leads you to the beautifully manicured Hertford Castle Grounds, perfect for morning walks among historic ruins, or the expansive Hartham Park, which offers riverside paths, leisure facilities, and vast open common land.

Location:

Situated in the heart of the prestigious SG13 postcode, West Street offers a quiet residential feel just moments from the vibrant town centre.
