Set on a substantial plot in the desirable Thorley Park area, this four-bedroom detached home offers spacious family living with practical energy savings. The ground floor layout includes three reception rooms, a large kitchen with space for a breakfast table, a utility room and a conservatory that opens onto a private, mature garden. A garage and driveway provide convenient parking and storage.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom; the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite while a modern family bathroom serves the rest. Solar panels reduce running costs and the property connects to fast broadband, supporting home working and streaming. The house is freehold and presents as a comfortable, well-maintained family home constructed in the 1980s.
Location is a key strength: Dove Close sits within a very low-crime, very affluent suburb with good local shops, green spaces and frequent bus links. It is about a 20-minute walk to Bishop’s Stortford town centre and mainline station with direct services to Cambridge and London, and falls within catchments for several highly rated primary and secondary schools.
Considerations: the property’s double glazing pre-dates 2002 and some internal features are typical of 1980s/1990s construction, so buyers seeking a fully modernised finish should budget for updates. Mobile signal is average — broadband is fast but mobile coverage may vary across the house. Overall this is a roomy, well-located family home with strong schooling and transport credentials.
