3 bedroom semi-detached house

Sherrington Cottage.
Stylish Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Home in Start Hill, Bishop’s Stortford

A unique opportunity to own one of only three low-energy homes on an exciting greenfield development — a rare project that has secured planning permission despite being just beyond the defined development limits for Start Hill. Nestled immediately adjacent to the village boundary on the peaceful south side of the road, this property combines countryside living with cutting-edge sustainability.

Designed with environmental responsibility at its core, this home incorporates an air source heat pump for renewable heating and hot water, triple glazing for exceptional energy efficiency, and Rockwool stone wool insulation for outstanding thermal and acoustic performance. It also features a Pliteq acoustic solution, regenerated from landfill materials, to reduce low-frequency noise and isolate drywall from the roof and wall structures. An EV charging point is included, making the home ready for the future of transport.

Inside, a bright, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space offers the perfect setting for both family life and entertaining. Sleek modern finishes complement generous glazing that fills the home with natural light.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a private en-suite shower room and built-in storage, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms provide space for children, guests, or a dedicated home office, while the family bathroom is finished to a high standard with contemporary fittings.

Outside, a private rear garden provides the perfect setting for summer evenings, al fresco dining, or relaxing in the fresh air. Off-street parking is available to the front. Located just minutes from Bishop’s Stortford, the property enjoys easy access to amenities, highly regarded schools, and excellent transport links to London, Cambridge, and Stansted Airport.

This is more than just a home — it’s part of a pioneering, eco-conscious development in one of the area’s most desirable semi-rural settings. Offering modern comfort, countryside peace, and future-proof technology, it truly stands out.
