Garth House is an impressive Grade II Listed family home with stunning gardens, which has been owned by the same family for 70 years and is set in the village of Hertingfordbury near Hertford. The property dates from 1729 with later additions in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, and interestingly has historic and artistic associations, as the mother of the post-Impressionist painter Spencer Frederick Gore rented Garth House between 1904 and 1906. Gore painted several pictures of the house, garden and village, which are now in art galleries throughout the world.
The property features handsome brick and rendered elevations, five bedrooms and a wealth of splendid period character, including sash windows and original parquet flooring. In total, accommodation comprises more than 3,700 square feet and includes a welcoming and spacious reception hall, with doors leading to the ground floor living and entertaining space. There is a generously-proportioned reception room with a dual aspect and a formal dining room with a door opening to the rear terrace and the delightful gardens beyond. The ground floor also has a well-equipped kitchen, with the pantry, laundry and large cellar providing further space for storage and home appliances.
Two separate staircases lead to the first-floor accommodation, where the further large reception room has a triple aspect, including French doors opening onto a south-facing balcony with stunning views across the gardens. There are five first-floor bedrooms, three with their own washbasins; one of these could be converted to an en suite bath or shower room. Also located on the first floor are two family bathrooms.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
