April 11, 2026

Someone needs to go get this Hertford house! Come be my neighbor! It’s ten minutes from my house in Hertford. The house is known as Woodlawn. It was built in the late 1700’s. Woodlawn is located on 10.5 acres in Hertford, North Carolina. The house definitely needs work, but the price seems reasonable. Love the federal mantels inside! The house could use some undoing of past renovations, but this house has a lot of potential. There is an old dairy house and a workshop on the property. Four bedrooms, one bathroom and 2,173 square feet. $250,000

First time offered in nearly a century; this rare property features nearly 11 acres and a historic farmhouse with roots dating back to the late 1700s. The home offers approximately 2,200 square feet, currently configured with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The original portion of the home showcases early architectural character, with additional expansions completed over time, including a kitchen addition in the mid-1900s. Interior features include original hardwood flooring on the main level, with additional hardwood flooring located beneath carpeted areas upstairs. Much of the home retains original materials, including horsehair plaster walls and wood siding beneath the current exterior coverings. The property includes two outbuildings, formerly used as a dairy house and workshop, offering additional storage or potential for repurposing. The expansive acreage provides ample space for a variety of uses, including recreational, agricultural, or hobby farm opportunities. The home is equipped with electricity and plumbing. A metal roof is in place and in great shape. All chimneys have been sealed. The property shows signs of age consistent with its history, including some settling and deferred maintenance. One section of the home (referred to as the ”old kitchen”) is newer than the original detached kitchen but much older than the kitchen addition. Evidence of prior termite activity from the mid 80’s is present, termite treatment has been up to date from that time until Feb of 2026. Property is being sold as-is. Cash or renovation financing is likely required. This sale contains two parcels totaling 10.5 Acres
