A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the very heart of Hertford town centre - complete with private parking, an uncommon benefit for such a central location. Offering over 1,200 sq. ft. of accommodation, this property combines size, convenience and individuality in equal measure.

Measuring larger than many houses, this Grade II listed home is full of charm and character while providing a practical and versatile layout. On entering, a useful porch area provides excellent storage before stairs rise to a long corridor that runs through the apartment and leads you into the main living space.

The real focal point is the impressive open plan kitchen/living/dining room. With its striking exposed beams, generous proportions and natural flow, it creates a welcoming environment equally suited to entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the principal room further benefitting from its own en suite shower room. A separate bathroom serves the second bedroom and visitors alike.

The property is perfectly positioned to enjoy all that Hertford has to offer. Situated in the middle of town, a wide variety of shops, caf�s, restaurants and amenities are right on your doorstep. For those commuting, Hertford East station is just a few minutes' walk away, providing regular services into London, while Hartham Common is equally close at hand, offering riverside walks, open green space and leisure facilities - truly the best of both worlds.

Practical benefits add to the appeal, with a peppercorn ground rent and no annual service charge to pay - only a proportionate share of the building's insurance.

A unique apartment that blends history, character and modern convenience, this home offers generous living space in a central location - all enhanced by the rarity of allocated parking.

Tenure: - �550 PA contribution to buildings insurance.
