Newly renovated two-bedroom cottage with loft conversion potential and riverside views.
Riverside Victorian mid-terrace with private landscaped garden
This Victorian mid-terrace on Folly Island sits directly on the river and has been recently renovated throughout, blending original features with contemporary comforts. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge with a working fireplace, a dining area with a wood-burning stove, and a newly fitted kitchen with underfloor heating and integrated appliances. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor, plus a well-insulated loft with a Velux window that could become a third bedroom subject to planning permission.
The landscaped rear garden is low-maintenance and private, with a pergola, shed and rear access. Practical upgrades include double glazing, a new staircase, added soundproofing and a modern bathroom. The property is chain-free and freehold, about 766 sq ft — an average-sized terraced home ideal for young families or professionals who value town-centre convenience and period character.
Location is a major strength: Hertford town centre and both Hertford East and North stations are short walks away, while excellent local schools and riverside leisure at Hartham Common are nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk recorded for this address.
Notable considerations: the plot is small and parking is on-street with permits; the area records above-average crime rates. The house’s brick walls are likely original solid construction and may lack cavity insulation. Any loft conversion requires planning permission and a fixed staircase installation. These factors are important when budgeting future works or evaluating long-term running costs.
