Hadham Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

A very rare opportunity to acquire this prominent 1930s five bedroom detached family home, positioned on one of Bishop’s Stortford’s most sought-after and established residential roads, just a short stroll from the North West corner of the town centre.

Homes on Hadham Road rarely come to market, and this particular property has had just three owners since it was built in the 1930s — a true testament to both the home and the location.

Set behind a generous frontage with a recently installed driveway and detached double garage, the property sits on a wonderful plot with an impressive rear garden extending to approximately 115 ft, offering excellent privacy and a beautiful outlook from the rear of the home.

The house retains many quintessential 1930s features, including wide proportions, high ceilings and large windows, creating a wonderful sense of space and natural light throughout. The property offers approximately 2,200 sq ft of internal accommodation, plus a detached double garage and garden office / summer house, totalling approximately 2,600 sq ft overall.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a snug living room with feature fireplace and bespoke shutters to the front aspect, and a separate family room with dual aspect windows. The heart of the home is a stunning main sitting room with skylight, which flows through to a dining room with double doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and outside living — ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a modern fitted kitchen with side access, garden views and a practical downstairs WC.

Upstairs, the property offers five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, two bedrooms connected via a Jack and Jill bathroom, a further spacious family bathroom, and a generous landing with skylight providing excellent natural light. There may also be further scope to extend subject to the usual planning constraints, as some neighbouring properties have done.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature of the home, offering a large patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto an extensive lawn with mature trees providing privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. There is also a bar area and a highly useful garden office / studio to the rear of the garden, ideal for working from home.

Hadham Road sits within a conservation area and is widely regarded as one of Bishop’s Stortford’s premier addresses. The property is within easy walking distance of Bishop’s Stortford College, Northgate Primary School, and the town’s popular sporting facilities including cricket, tennis, padel and rugby clubs. North Street and the town centre are just a short walk away (approximately 0.4 miles), offering a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants, while Bishop’s Stortford mainline station is approximately a 20 minute walk (around 1 mile), providing excellent commuter links to London and Cambridge.

Bishop’s Stortford is a vibrant and highly regarded market town, well known for its excellent schooling, strong community feel and superb transport links, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike.

A much loved home, beautifully maintained and improved over nearly 30 years of ownership, now ready for its next chapter.
