Stansted Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

£325,000 A Picture-Perfect Cottage Beside the Church
Nestled, at the end of a peaceful footpath, with the beautiful All Saints Church as your backdrop. This enchanting two-bedroom cottage captures everything we love about English country living — yet it’s just a short stroll from Bishop’s Stortford’s vibrant town centre and mainline station (London Liverpool Street 40 minutes and Tottenham Hale in under 30 minutes ).

From the moment you arrive, the storybook frontage and secluded setting invite you to leave the outside world behind. Inside, the cosy lounge/dining room is perfect for curling up after a long day or hosting intimate suppers with friends. The fitted kitchen and stylish shower room offer everyday ease without sacrificing charm. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms promise restful nights. With no road noise, this is your weekday sanctuary — a place to recharge in peace — and on weekends, it’s made for slow, unhurried mornings where the only soundtrack is birdsong and the kettle boiling.

Outside, a delightful courtyard garden awaits — enclosed by an established brick wall and brimming with potential for potted herbs, climbing roses, and lazy afternoons in the sun. The small enclosed front garden only adds to the cottage’s picture-postcard charm. Along Blackberry Path, every cottage is loved and cared for, creating a row of immaculate homes that radiate pride and belonging. Here, neighbours aren’t just faces you pass — they’re friends who look out for one another, share a smile in the morning, and lend a hand when it’s needed. It’s a place where the sense of community is as enduring as the bricks and mortar, and where you’ll feel part of something truly special from the moment you arrive.

add 'Parking: Onsite parking is not available as is a true Victorian terraced cottage, but all residents on Blackberry Path that drive park close by with residents' permits just across the road in secure spots away from the main road. Residents’ permits are available from East Herts District Council and very cost-effective (£40 per annum for the first car, £80 for the second)

This isn’t just a home — it’s a slice of classic cottage living, in a location that blends tranquility with total convenience. If you’ve been searching for charm, character, and a setting you’ll fall in love with, this one is hard to beat.
