Property description

This attractive end-of-terrace house combines the charm of a traditional property with the space and flexibility needed for modern living. Arranged over three floors, with a substantial basement room in addition, it offers three double bedrooms, a single bedroom or home office, two bathrooms and generous living accommodation. The property also benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

The welcoming front reception room features a bay window, timber flooring and a wood-burning stove, complemented by period details including sash windows and picture rails.

To the rear, the spacious kitchen/dining room provides an excellent setting for everyday living and entertaining. It is arranged around a central island and includes an oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. Patio doors open directly onto the enclosed rear garden.

One of the property's most useful features is its large, fully tanked and heated basement room. With natural light and built-in shelving, this offers valuable additional space for working from home, hobbies, a playroom or storage. The ceiling height is somewhat lower than in the main accommodation, but the room is considerably more versatile than a conventional cellar.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom which could equally serve as a study, and a family bathroom with a bath and shower over.

The second floor is devoted to the principal double bedroom, complete with its own shower room and walk-in wardrobe. Its position at the top of the house provides a welcome degree of privacy and separation from the other bedrooms.

Outside, the private rear garden is fully enclosed and paved with stone slabs, providing an attractive, low-maintenance space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A shared side passage also provides access between the front and rear of the property.

Parking is provided by a rear carport, approached through the car park of the neighbouring White Lion public house. The pub landlords also permit parking for one additional vehicle immediately in front of the carport gates. This additional space is available by permission and is not an allocated parking space.

Location and surroundings

The house is situated in the established Bengeo area of Hertford, approximately 0.8 miles from both the town centre and Hertford North railway station. Hertford East station is approximately 0.9 miles away. A Co-op convenience store is around a two-minute walk from the property, while Bengeo Primary School is approximately a quarter of a mile away.

The White Lion public house is immediately next door. Although this provides a convenient local amenity, prospective tenants should be aware that normal pub activity, including customers and music, may occasionally be heard from the property.

Bengeo Street is an established local route, so some passing traffic noise is to be expected. There is also a joinery workshop to the rear, from which occasional daytime working noise may be heard. The house benefits from double glazing, which helps to reduce external noise.

These are features of the property's setting that we believe prospective tenants should be aware of before arranging a viewing.

House prices can be 4.2% higher than a year ago and the sales market can still feel slow.

That is roughly where East Hertfordshire finds itself at the moment.

The latest official figures put the average East Herts sale price at £460,000 in May, up from £442,000 a year earlier. But more recent RICS evidence shows buyer enquiries and agreed sales remain subdued, while East of England asking prices were 0.7% lower year on year in July.

It is not really a contradiction. Completed sales data look backwards. Today's buyers are dealing with today's mortgage costs, today's choice of properties and today's asking prices. HMRC says a completion generally occurs two to four months after the original offer.

Lettings are different again. East Herts rents averaged £1,505 in June, up 2.4% annually, and our own response to the latest RICS survey was that rental demand continued to exceed supply in Hertford.

So the local market is not particularly well described as either “strong” or “weak”.

For sellers, realistic pricing matters.

For landlords, demand remains supportive, although rent growth is slowing.

And for someone considering whether to sell or let their property, it may be worth running the numbers on both before deciding.

Our full article in the comments looks at what the latest evidence means for Hertford and Ware homeowners.

Another lovely Hertford terrace ready for its next chapter.

This handsome Victorian house in Currie Street has now been let, and the new tenants are moving in shortly.

Hertford has a lot of streets like this. Solid period homes, good proportions, and a character that newer houses rarely quite manage to replicate.

Our job was simply to refurbish the property - new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, decorations, blinds, etc. - find the right tenants, and get everything running smoothly from day one.

Quiet, straightforward property management.

If you happen to own a similar property in Hertford or Ware and would like it looked after in the same way, we are always happy to have a conversation.

Hertford Castle looking glorious in its autumn colours this morning. We’re lucky to have such a beautiful spot right in the heart of town!

Buy-to-let mortgage rates have been easing over the last 18 months, with two-year fixes now hovering around 4.9%, and five-year fixes around 5.2%. It’s a small mercy, but it would be a mistake to treat it as the all-clear. The real question isn’t how cheap money looks this week, but how resilient your business model will be when the next rate rise, tax change or regulation lands.

If your fixed term ends within the next year, now is the time to review your numbers line by line. Not just the rate, but the gearing. Could you absorb another one or two percentage points on interest, or a two-month void? Too many landlords only find out the hard way!

Lenders are already tightening affordability rules, stress-testing at 7% or more on new deals. That tells you exactly what they expect.

Sensible landlords are using this period as a breathing space: overpay where possible, trim costs that add no value, and keep a buffer - ideally two months’ rent per property.

Rates may have settled, but the fundamentals haven’t changed: high leverage, rising costs and a government quick to score political points at landlords’ expense, mean that survival now depends less on optimism and more on discipline.

🔥 Air-Fryer Fires: The Surprise Hazard in UK Rentals 🔥

Air fryers make crispy chips in minutes, but they’ve also sparked a surge in kitchen fires.

Between 2023 – 2024, Warwickshire Fire & Rescue tackled five fryer blazes, and nearly 1 in 5 Brits say theirs has smoked, overheated or even exploded.

Top safety wins
• Give the fryer 10 cm breathing space
• Never overfill the basket
• Skip the oil (it’s an air fryer)
• Keep it on a solid, non-flammable surface
• Stay in the room + clean after every use

But accidents can still happen.

February 2025 Rental Market Update: What Landlords Need to Know Now

If you’re a landlord in today’s market, you’re probably wondering: What’s next? The start of 2025 has brought a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges, and the latest RICS UK Residential Market Survey reveals some eye-opening trends that every landlord should be aware of.

Tenant Demand is Holding Steady - For Now

After a period of intense competition for rental properties, demand from tenants appears to be stabilising. The survey shows that tenant demand has slipped, down to a net balance of +2% from +18% in the last quarter. While this may seem like a slowdown, it’s more of a market correction than a collapse.

The good news? There’s still strong demand in key areas, particularly for well-maintained properties in desirable locations. If you’re a landlord with a high-quality rental, you won’t struggle to find tenants.

Landlord Exodus: A Shrinking Supply of Rental Properties

One of the most concerning trends for tenants - but a potential opportunity for landlords who stay in the game - is the continued decline in new landlord instructions. The survey shows a -19% net balance in new rental listings, reflecting a persistent trend of landlords selling up and exiting the market.

Why? Rising regulation, increasing taxation, and uncertainty around the Renters' Reform Bill are pushing many small landlords to reconsider whether it’s worth staying in the sector. This means that those who do remain could benefit from less competition and continued upward pressure on rental prices.

Rental Prices Are Still Climbing

Despite the dip in tenant demand, rents are expected to rise further in the short term, with a net balance of +23% of survey respondents predicting increases. This is lower than the previous quarter (+32%), but still signals a strong market for landlords.

The takeaway? If you’re thinking about expanding your portfolio, this could be a good time to invest. With fewer properties available and demand still present, well-positioned landlords can take advantage of rising rents.

Is Now the Right Time to Buy More Property?

Interestingly, while the sales market is relatively flat right now, sales volumes are expected to increase in the coming months. This could mean more investment opportunities for landlords looking to acquire new properties at competitive prices. However, the key is buying smart - focusing on locations where rental demand remains strong and ensuring the numbers add up.

What Should Landlords Do Next?

If you’re already a landlord, this is the time to:
✔ Review your portfolio - Are your rental properties performing as well as they could be?
✔ Stay informed about legislative changes - Understanding upcoming reforms will help you plan ahead.
✔ Consider strategic investments - With supply shrinking, well-placed rental properties could see strong returns.
✔ Work with a knowledgeable lettings expert - Regulations are tightening, and professional management is more valuable than ever.
