Hertford Road, Woollens Brook, Hoddesdon EN11

Nestled in the charming area of Woollens Brook, Hoddesdon, this remarkable period detached property sits within an expansive plot approaching 0.70 acres. The original property itself dates to 1880 and boasts an impressive 2,297 square feet, making it ideal for families or those who enjoy entertaining. This is a unique opportunity for those seeking a blend of historical character with the benefits of modern living.

Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home; with high ceilings, plastered panelling, art-deco lighting, modern cast-iron radiators, and herringbone Amtico Flooring throughout, no expense has been spared.

The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, perfect for casual dining, alongside a spacious sitting / dining room. This room offers opportunity to knock through for a more open-plan layout. Modern essentials are covered with the large utility room and a shower/cloakroom. The utility room holds the recently fitted state of the art Bosch Worcester Boiler System and has access to the lower garden area. A magical walled garden perfect for the gardening enthusiast.

The living room is a real highlight of the home where you will find a picturesque view of the land including the distant forest tree tops, a view that can really be appreciated day or evening. With 5 meters of bi-fold doors, the whole room can open onto the patio and garden. There is also a working fireplace with a modern tile finish, for those cosy winter months.

Moving upstairs you will find the landing with double height ceilings, a grand chandelier and the Amtico Flooring continuing. There are four generously sized bedrooms, serviced with the family bathroom, all of which have been fitted with the cast iron radiators and luxury carpets. The principal bedroom occupies half of the upstairs with views reaching over the plot and into the surrounding grassland and woodland. This room has the bonus of an en-suite shower room. There is an expansive floored loft for storage, or potential conversion (stpp).

Externally, the property can really be appreciated for what is on offer. The plot nears 0.70 acres with enough space to entertain, grow plants, play football or just watch the world go by. Extensive parking is also available with a driveway that can easily accommodate up to 10 cars. Off to the side, there is a concrete sub base with potential for an annexe or outbuilding (stpp), with services already connected.

Throughout the exterior of the property is a state-of-the-art camera system which can be viewed through your phone, or the television in the master bedroom. In the interior, throughout is a zoned alarm sensor system which can be set, by remote control. The system was specially designed for the property rather than off the shelf alarm system.
