For sale by way of a conditional sale *
This large extended 3 bedroom detached family home is located in a highly sought after part of Bishops Stortford.
Coming in at over 1,300 Sq Ft with a large garden, this property is going to make a smashing home for some lucky family.
With a large drive and integral garage, there is room a plenty for off street parking.
The entrance hall is very large and allows access to the Lounge, Kitchen, and of course the stairs. It has lovely wooden flooring and it large enough for occasional furniture. When a property has an entrance hall as large as this, you can really set the standard for the entire house!
The lounge is extremely large and benefits from a large window overlooking the front of the property.
Double doors lead into the dining room. With these doors open, you get the full 10m length view of this impressive property which looks fabulous!
The dining room is also large and what the current owner has done here works very well. It is large enough to house a 6 seater dining table & chairs set off centre. This means there is ample room for more 'lounge style' furniture near the double doors that open onto the large rear garden. Therefore, this super large space from front to back, although two rooms, looks like three! It is certainly big enough!
The kitchen is too wide to be called a 'galley kitchen' as it is 2.84m wide. However, as it is virtually 6m long, it has that feel about it! To be honest, the kitchen is a little dated, However, it is a perfectly decent kitchen that is fully operational and therefore it is not a job that has to be done straight away!
The utility room is larger than average with plenty of space for a washing machine & tumble dryer. There is access here to the downstairs cloakroom which has the added bonus of a walk in shower! Super handy after a hard days slog in the garden! There is also a door that leads to the extra large garage & yet another door that leads to the rear garden.
The garden is large. Laid almost entirely to lawn, it has established bushes & shrubs to two sides & a fence on the third side. There are some gorgeous established trees & this garden is a haven for birdlife.
Having said all of that, this garden could be something truly amazing and I can imagine how a keen gardener would be 'chomping at the bit' to transform it into something amazing.
Upstairs we find 3 bedrooms (2 double & 1 good size single). Bedroom 1 has built in wardrobes.
There is also a family bathroom and a nice size landing.
3 bedroom detached properties of this size & with a large garden do not come to market in the area that often & it is easy to see why!

Primary School (Ofsted rated good) 0.33 miles.
