This refurbished one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor in the heart of Bishop’s Stortford, a short walk from shops, restaurants and the mainline station. The living space has been updated with a fitted kitchen, a refitted bathroom and good built-in storage, so it’s ready to occupy or let immediately. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the property is offered with vacant possession.
Its compact footprint (approximately 385 sq ft) makes the layout easy to run and maintain, appealing to a first-time buyer or someone seeking a low-fuss town-centre base. The apartment currently uses electric room heaters rather than central gas, which keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs in winter. There is no private outdoor space and access is via communal stairs to the second floor.
The flat is leasehold with about 125 years remaining and a quarterly service charge of around £550 (c. £2,000 pa). The apartment is presented in a newly renovated condition, and has potential as a rental: estimated market rent around £950 pcm, offering an option for buy-to-let or future relocation.
Notable negatives are the small overall size, reliance on electric heating, ongoing service charge, and the lack of an outdoor area. These factors are balanced by the prime central location, recent refurbishment and immediate availability, making this a practical choice for a first-time purchaser or investor seeking central Bishop’s Stortford accommodation.
