The Folly is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom terraced property located in Hertford, Hertfordshire. Based on the provided information and images, here’s an analysis: Location: The property is situated in Hertford Bengeo, which benefits from its proximity to Hertford East train station (0.57km) providing links to London Liverpool Street. Several schools are also within a reasonable distance, including Abel Smith School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) at 0.65km. This suggests a convenient location for families and commuters. Condition: The property appears to be habitable, however, some areas show signs of needing some modernisation. Whilst the kitchen and bathroom appear functional, an update may increase its value. The interior decor is dated. The garden requires some attention, particularly in terms of tidying and landscaping. Land: The property includes a small rear garden. While not extensive, it does offer some outdoor space, which is a desirable feature in a town setting. Price: The list price of £425,000 seems reasonable when compared to other properties in the area. While the square footage is not provided for nearby properties, similar properties on The Folly have sold for between £333,000 and £385,000. The price reflects the property’s location and the potential for improvement. However, a lack of precise comparative data on square footage prevents a definitive assessment of price per square foot.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
