Set just off Rye Street, this ground-floor maisonette offers a compact, move-in-ready two-bedroom home a short walk from Bishop’s Stortford High Street and the station. The property benefits from a very long 990-year lease and a share of freehold, plus allocated off-street parking and a private garden — rare finds for this size and location. Fast broadband, double glazing and proximity to good schools make it suitable for first-time buyers or commuters.
Accommodation is modest at around 511 sq ft with a large lounge and two bedrooms arranged in a traditional layout. Heating is electric storage radiators; this keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The building is modern (late 1980s) and generally well maintained, though the maisonette does carry a service charge (circa £2,200) which buyers should factor into ongoing costs.
The location is the main draw: about 0.5 miles to the bustling High Street and under a mile to the station with fast links to London Stansted and Cambridge. Local amenities, leisure facilities and a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach. For buyers seeking a low-maintenance, well-located starter home or a commuter investment, this property offers secure tenure and good local demand.
Notable practical points: the property is leasehold (990 years remaining) with an average service charge, electric heating, and a small overall floor area. These are balanced by allocated parking, a garden, modern glazing, and an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood.
