Rye Street, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully proportioned two bedroom ground floor maisonette, forming part of an attractive period property conversion on the ever desirable Rye Street in Bishop’s Stortford. Offering high ceilings, generous room sizes and the standout benefit of a privately owned courtyard garden, this is a home that combines character, space and lifestyle in equal measure.

Internally, the property opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the impressive accommodation throughout. To the front aspect sits a superb living room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window and enhanced by high ceilings and a feature fireplace. A door from here leads directly into the private courtyard garden, creating a wonderful sense of connection between inside and out.

Across the hallway is the fantastic principal bedroom, again enjoying high ceilings and a large bay window to the front aspect, alongside built in wardrobe space. This room benefits from a Jack and Jill style access into a convenient ensuite WC.
