House link posted for your thoughts please...

[WantingToMove]

Do you think this would make a good family home? Hertford is such an expensive town & there are many 2 bedroom houses but not so many 3/4/5 bedroom house &, therefore, you pay a premium. What do you think of this?

house

lovely, especially the his n' hers basins

House is also on with this agent & show the garden.

Unless you plan to have 15 children then this seems like a forever kind of house and if that is the case and you can afford it you should go for it.

It is massive and I think children would love the quirky sloped ceilings in the top floor bedrooms.

If you have boys that lawn would be trashed but it is a small price to pay for a house of that size.

it is huge!

so much nicer than the other one but garden looks small for size of house.

tiny garden!

Yeah garden doesn't look huge - wonder how big the patio are is.

is it on a new build estate?

I don't like it. It's very bland and I think the kitchen and bathrooms need replaced - it's very early nineties.

I haven't looked at the property market you're in but surely for that giant wodge of cash you can do better?

needs a bit of decorating but again nice village

are you wedded to Hertford in particular?

looks so much nicer than the previous one; so much more money too!

the obvious negative is the small garden but otoh easy to maintain & perhaps there's a good local park nearby?

do you prefer nb?

if you like new how about this lake front home about 5 miles away?

I think it is a nice house but would not go beyond that, I would something that I loved to spend that kind of money.

It was built in 2000 or 2001. Agree we would need to.t replace kitchen/bathroom but that's not a big deal as we'd want to put our stamp on it.
Laurie - we want to stay in Hertford only, Knebworth is too far away. If you look on rightmove for just Hertford you will see the rubbish choices!
Cheers guys

Sorry only saw the first link - off to check out the rest!

You're totally right, there are some truly dreadful choices in Hertford itself

which is why I'd move here

it's lovely. what would you offer?

Saw the first link, not sure I can read the rest as I am so at the giant lovely house you are planning on buying!

It is even bigger than the last one! I like it.

New houses are so much more practical for families. There is definitely a snobbery against newer homes. We are in a victorian terrace, there isn't room to swing a cat and children can't play in the street, I would swop my house with character for a "bland" new build any day!

Well the downsides for me is that it is relatively modern and the walls and doors don't look solid. I like nice solid walls. Also a wee bit bland. And overlooked from every conceivable angle. And a pocket handkerchief sized garden.

blimey that's ££££

Thanks for the links, like the first one in Knebworth but DH wouldn't entertain the master bedroom as he is over 6' & wants a full height. The Codicote is on the high street so not really for us. Hoddesdon isn't that nice of an area really. Thanks anyway though! We really want to stay in Hertford but finding a house is a struggle!

for a newish house i think its lovely, the downside of course with all newbuilds is the small garden. but if you're set on living in that area, seems like the only acceptable choice!

wish i had that much to spend...makes my £200k budget look tiny!

for half a mill, its a bit ordinary.
