Set on a desirable street in Bishop’s Stortford, this deceptively spacious Victorian semi delivers classic period charm with practical modern benefits. The house offers two double bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a flowing ground floor plan from bay-fronted living room through to a family/dining room and kitchen. A double driveway and a sunny, cottage-style rear garden are rare for this location.
The home suits a family seeking excellent school catchments and easy access to the town centre and mainline station. At about 838 sq ft the accommodation feels generous for its size; original features such as sash-style windows, picture rails and fireplaces add character. It is chain free and offered freehold, simplifying a straightforward purchase.
Buyers should note this is an older, solid-brick property (built before 1900) with assumed no wall insulation and some dated interior finishes. The living areas and décor need modernisation in places — carpets and wallpaper are mid-20th century — and the house will benefit from updating to current energy and aesthetic standards. The plot is small, so the garden and driveway are compact but well-laid-out.
Overall this is a solid, characterful Victorian home with excellent location and parking convenience. It suits buyers who value proximity to top schools and transport links and who are prepared to invest modestly in modernisation to unlock its full potential.
