2 Bedroom Terraced House

A beautifully presented two-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian cottage, positioned along one of Bengeo’s most recognisable and sought-after streets, within easy reach of Hertford town centre, Hartham Common and the town’s two mainline railway stations.

Behind its attractive brick elevations and traditional front garden, the property offers approximately 548 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation. The current owners have sympathetically improved the home, combining original character with a stylish, practical interior ideally suited to modern living.

The front door opens directly into a welcoming living room, beautifully presented with original wooden floorboards and plantation shutters. An exposed brick fireplace with decorative tiled hearth creates a charming focal point, while fitted cabinetry and shelving provide useful storage without detracting from the character of the room.

To the rear is a generous kitchen and dining room measuring approximately 13'6 x 10'10. Fitted with an attractive range of shaker-style cabinetry, the kitchen is complemented by solid timber work surfaces, farmhouse-tiled splashbacks and an inset ceramic sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the garden. Integrated Bosch cooking appliances and an induction hob complete the practical arrangement, while the room provides ample space for a dining table and chairs.

The rear door forms a convenient everyday entrance from the garden. There is useful space for coats and shoes. Natural slate flooring and recessed lighting give this bright and comfortable room a distinctive finish.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to two well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and retains an attractive cast-iron fireplace. Bespoke fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage, while plantation shutters, soft neutral decoration and space for a dressing table or compact workstation create a particularly comfortable room.

Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and is ideally suited as a child’s bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office.

The bathroom has been intelligently remodelled by rearranging the former bathroom to create a far more practical arrangement. Finished with white metro tiling, the room includes a panelled joint bath and shower, WC, and wash basin with fitted storage.

Outside, the rear garden is of an excellent size for a cottage of this type and enjoys a pleasing sense of privacy. A paved terrace immediately adjoining the house, with steps leading to a lawn enclosed by mature hedging and established planting. Gated side access is particularly useful, while a substantial detached outbuilding of approximately 82 sq ft offers valuable storage and potential for a workshop or other ancillary use. A further paved terrace adjoining the outbuilding provides a sheltered space for outdoor dining or seating. 

Wellington Street occupies an exceptionally convenient position within lower Bengeo. Hertford’s historic town centre offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, while Hartham Common, the River Lea and miles of attractive riverside walks are all close at hand. Hertford North and Hertford East stations provide regular rail services towards London, making this charming home an excellent choice for commuters, first-time buyers and those seeking a character property in one of the town’s most desirable settings.
