Location – Country Living with Capital Connections Situated within the highly sought-after SG14 area near Hertford, the property enjoys an enviable position combining rural charm with excellent connectivity. Nearby rail services provide access into London in approximately 40–50 minutes, making the property particularly attractive for professionals seeking a better work-life balance without sacrificing accessibility. The area is also renowned for its educational provision, with access to a number of highly regarded schools including: Richard Hale School Presdales School Simon Balle School Bengeo Primary School St Joseph's Catholic Primary School Haileybury Vendor Position The vendors have identified a property they have long admired, which has recently returned to the market and is available chain-free. To place themselves in the strongest possible position to secure their onward purchase, they have taken the decision to offer their home at a newly reduced asking price. The property itself has already demonstrated strong market appeal, having successfully secured buyers on three separate occasions. Most recently, the sale progressed through surveys and due diligence before the transaction was unable to proceed when a significant element of the purchaser's funding unexpectedly fell through. This combination of a newly reduced asking price, motivated vendors and a chain-free onward purchase creates an outstanding opportunity for a committed buyer to acquire a substantial country residence in one of Hertfordshire's most desirable locations. Properties offering this combination of land, equestrian facilities, modern specification, privacy and London accessibility are seldom available. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, versatility and lifestyle on offer
