Garth House is a substantial Grade II-listed 18th-century detached home set in just over an acre of south-facing gardens with a well-kept tennis court, mature trees and outbuildings. The house offers nearly 3,400 sq ft of living space across two storeys plus cellar and attic, with five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a useful integrated single-car garage. The property blends Georgian and Victorian features — sash windows, high dining-room ceilings and original details — making it appealing for buyers seeking character and space.
Practical benefits include private gated access, driveway parking for several cars, strong broadband and excellent mobile signal, and good road and rail links to London (Hertford North a short drive). The plot, garden and outbuildings give scope for family life, entertaining or modest development of ancillary uses, subject to listed-building and planning constraints.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II-listed, which will restrict alterations and will cause additional costs and complexity for repairs or extensions. The accommodation has been altered and extended over time so layouts vary; the property will require careful maintenance to preserve period fabric and there are likely conservation-led repair obligations. Council Tax is described as quite expensive, and the listed status may affect insurance and ongoing costs.
This home suits a family wanting a large, private period house with character and a significant garden, or a buyer prepared to invest in sensitive repair and conservation. The option to purchase an adjacent two-bedroom Victorian cottage is available separately for anyone seeking additional accommodation or rental income.
