Gaston Green, Little Hallingbury, Bishop's Stortford, CM22

Folio: 15373 A wonderful detached three bedroom character home with lots of potential in a convenient semi-rural setting, overlooking a small green. The house is set back from the road and has a detached double garage/games room and parking to the rear. It has beautiful front and rear gardens and originally had a thatched roof but this is now tiled.  There are three reception rooms, large kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs cloakroom, three bedrooms and a first floor bathroom.

Gaston Green is a small hamlet which has its own cricket pitch, central village pond and green and walks down to the River Stort navigation with access to some beautiful countryside. There is a local pub in Little Hallingbury, which is within walking distance, a local junior school, and the mainline railway station is only five minutes by car with lines to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. The property also offers easy access to both Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth, each enjoying schooling for all ages, a range of shopping and leisure facilities and access to the M11 leading to the M25. Only by internal viewing will the true potential be fully appreciated.
