An impressive late Victorian detached residence offering a stunning combination of period features and contemporary fittings, beautifully presented throughout and situated in one of the highest regarded roads in Hertford.
'The Garden House' is something of a landmark home in Bengeo that has been sympathetically improved and extended over the years, retaining many fine features and immaculately presented throughout. It occupies a large, corner plot with mature trees guarding the boundaries ensuring ample privacy and meticulously presented lawn, established shrubs and sunny south and westerly facing terraces. There is a gravel driveway with parking for several cars and planning consent for a double garage.
On the ground floor the original part of the house oozes charm and character, including a grand dual aspect living room with feature fireplace and bay window with fitted seat and a formal dining room, again with a lovely bay window and fireplace. The music room is a delight with an oak staircase, fabulous picture window and wood floor and there is also a study and cloakroom. In 2009 the fantastic kitchen/family room was created and is the hub of the house, incorporating a German fitted kitchen with a range of integrated appliances and Quartz topped island. There is a dining and living space with bi-fold doors to two aspects making the most of the garden vistas.
Upstairs, all five bedrooms are of a good size with quality en-suite facilities to both the main and guest suites, together with a refitted family shower room. The second floor provides a sixth bedroom with potentially additional bathroom space and loft storage.
Gas heating serves radiators and there is underfloor heating in the kitchen extension.
