Summary - 5, Barker Close, BISHOP'S STORTFORD CM23 1ER
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable new-build home near parks and fast rail links to London.
Three bedrooms with separate living room and open-plan kitchen/diner
A bright, new-build three-bedroom semi-detached house offered through Shared Ownership—ideal for first-time buyers who want an affordable route onto the Bishop’s Stortford market. The home is part of a planned development with contemporary fixtures, an open-plan kitchen/diner, separate living room with patio doors to a small private garden, and two allocated parking spaces with an electric charge point.
Energy features include rooftop PV panels and modern insulation standards typical of new builds, helping running costs. The property has a long 990-year lease, a low monthly service charge, and good local amenities including parks, primary schools within walking distance, and rail links to London Liverpool Street in around 45 minutes.
Important practical points are clear: this is a shared ownership sale (example: 40% share at £180,000 with rent on the remaining share — monthly rent shown at £620.87) and the scheme has eligibility criteria (household gross income cap, inability to buy on the open market, and not already owning a home). The house is sold off-plan so viewings are not currently possible and images may show similar properties rather than this exact plot.
The layout suits a growing couple or small family wanting affordable, low-maintenance modern living close to open green space. Expect one family bathroom and a compact 908 sq ft footprint; consider the single bathroom and modest internal size when planning family use or future resale.
