Video tours

Set within the striking Nightingales development, this beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a Grade II listed Victorian building on the edge of Bishop’s Stortford town centre.

Originally constructed in 1856 as a Victorian workhouse and later part of the historic Herts and Essex General Hospital, Nightingales was thoughtfully converted into residential apartments in the late 20th century. The conversion retains many original features including soaring ceilings, arched sash windows, and intricate period detailing that lend the property its distinct character.

Inside, the apartment is bright, spacious, and finished to a high standard. The entrance hall enjoys a leafy outlook over the communal gardens. Off the hallway, you'll find a large double bedroom with built-in storage, a modern bathroom suite, and a stunning open-plan living and dining room that flows effortlessly into a stylish, recently updated kitchen. The layout is both functional and inviting — ideal for those seeking charm without compromise on comfort.

Perfect for professionals and commuters, the apartment is just a short stroll from the town centre, with its wide range of shops, restaurants, and cafés. Bishop’s Stortford mainline station is also within walking distance, offering direct trains to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport. Excellent road connections via the M11, A120, and nearby bus routes make getting around easy and efficient.

Further benefits include well-maintained communal gardens, allocated parking, and a peaceful residential setting that feels tucked away while still being moments from town.

This is a rare opportunity to own a stylish, character-filled apartment in one of Bishop’s Stortford’s most iconic historic buildings. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
