Chain-free Victorian cottage with modern kitchen and low-maintenance garden, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free mid-terraced Victorian cottage, two double bedrooms
This mid-terraced Victorian cottage offers character and practical modern upgrades in Hertford's sought-after Port Vale. Presented in good order, the house has two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with island and appliances included, plus a cosy log burner and gas central heating for year-round comfort. At 753 sq ft, the footprint is typical for a small two-bedroom terrace and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property is chain free and ready to move into. Bi-fold doors open onto a low‑maintenance rear garden and shed, while fitted wardrobes to the master and recent double glazing give sensible storage and comfort. Nearby amenities include supermarkets, schools (several rated Good or Outstanding), and leisure facilities; mobile signal and broadband are strong.
Notable practical points are clear: plot and room sizes are modest, the terraced walls are original solid brick (no cavity insulation assumed), and parking is on-street (permit or paid options may apply). Crime levels are above average locally. The house has scope for improvement or energy upgrades, which could add value but will require investment.
Priced at £449,000, this compact character home is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer seeking period features with modern conveniences, or an investor targeting a well-connected Hertford location.
