LOCATION
Wood End is perfectly placed between the pretty town of Buntingford to the East, Stevenage to the West and the busy market towns of Ware and Hertford to the South. For the commuter, one can leave the house and travel to Stevenage station and be in King Cross within the hour. The area is ideal for those seeking the peace and quiet of the country yet without the feeling of being isolated. There are many footpaths and bridleways nearby and one can walk for miles without being near main roads. The small village of Ardeley is a couple of miles away with the Jolly Waggoners pub always providing a warm welcome. Excellent schooling, both state and private, is also found in the area and the A1(M) and A10 provide excellent road links to the M25
