This ground-floor apartment is listed at £199,995. Its key strengths include a highly desirable private rear garden and an excellent overall location with positive environmental factors, both of which are strong attractions in the current market. The property also benefits from a good level of modernisation and non-allocated parking. However, a significant consideration is the remaining lease term of 86 years. While not critically short, leases approaching 80 years can become a concern for mortgage lenders and may involve future extension costs; its lease length compares less favorably within this market. The internal space is moderate. Considering these factors, the property's strong appeal from the garden and location is somewhat balanced by the lease situation. Therefore, a realistic valuation places it between £186,000 and £206,000, acknowledging its positive attributes while factoring in potential buyer caution regarding the lease.
The property is on average £2,723 more expensive than similar properties in the area

8.8/10Location
This property boasts a uniquely tranquil and scenic village location with direct countryside access, offering a distinct advantage in peace and air quality over more urbanized properties in the market. While many properties are near parks, this one offers a more comprehensive rural serenity. However, this idyllic setting means less convenient public transport compared to centrally located properties, and potential for seasonal rural characteristics.

Environmental Factors
The property is situated in Birch Green, an area renowned for its serene village atmosphere, with abundant green spaces, mature trees, and direct access to picturesque countryside walks, offering a significant competitive advantage in terms of peace and scenic quality.
Its location on a minor village road ensures minimal vehicular traffic, leading to exceptionally low noise pollution and a peaceful living environment, a distinct advantage over properties in more developed or main road adjacent areas.
The rural setting, distant from significant industrial activity and major roadways, likely provides superior air quality compared to more urbanized parts of Hertford, a positive environmental attribute.
While largely idyllic, the deeply rural character may occasionally involve seasonal agricultural odours or a more noticeable presence of insects and wildlife compared to urban settings, which could be a minor environmental consideration for some.
