Blacksmith Close, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

A beautifully upgraded four-bedroom detached home, peacefully positioned in the highly sought-after St Michael’s Mead development in Bishop’s Stortford. Immaculately presented throughout, this property has been thoughtfully modernised to create a stylish and practical family living environment. The home also benefits from recently granted planning permission for a loft conversion to create a fifth bedroom with en-suite, offering excellent future potential (plans available on request).

The accommodation
The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a bright and comfortable living room featuring a central fireplace and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room — a beautifully executed space with high-quality worktops, excellent storage, under-counter feature lighting and direct garden access, creating an ideal setting for day-to-day living and entertaining alike.

There is a further versatile reception room to the front, currently utilised as a playroom, which could serve well as a study, snug or separate dining room depending on preference. A useful downstairs WC completes the ground floor. The current owners have materially improved the property with new flooring, internal doors and décor, giving the entire ground floor a fresh, contemporary finish.

Upstairs
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms — a genuine advantage rarely found in similar homes. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. The planning-approved loft conversion would allow for the creation of a large principal suite with dressing/storage space and en-suite, should the next owners wish to expand.

Outside
Situated at the end of a quiet, no-through road, the property enjoys a peaceful and private setting. To the front, there is driveway parking leading to a detached double garage. Part of the garage has been converted to provide a superb home office / studio space — ideal for those working from home or seeking a gym or hobby room — while still retaining practical storage. The rear garden is neatly landscaped, offering a balance of lawn and patio, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxed family time in the warmer months.
