This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Stansted Road offers classic cottage character in a quiet, picture-postcard setting beside All Saints Church. The property is compact but well laid out, with a cosy lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and a small enclosed courtyard garden. Chain-free sale and a short walk to Bishop’s Stortford town centre and mainline station make it especially appealing for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
The home retains period features — exposed brickwork and a central fireplace — and benefits from mains gas heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). The courtyard and small front garden provide outdoor space for potted plants and relaxed mornings, while nearby good and outstanding schools and local amenities suit young families.
Buyers should note the property’s modest size (approximately 486 sq ft) and single bathroom, which limit flexibility for larger households. The mid-terrace was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls assumed to have no built-in insulation; some upkeep is likely, and there is potential for damp in older properties of this type. On-street parking requires a residents’ permit from East Herts District Council.
In short, this cottage is a charming, affordable entry into Bishop’s Stortford with immediate walkability to transport and shops. It suits a buyer looking for character, a close-knit neighbourhood, and a manageable renovation or update rather than a turnkey family home.
