Thorley Hill, Bishop's Stortford, CM23 3ND

Laven House is a striking detached family home that has been comprehensively upgraded to deliver the feel of a modern, high-spec new build, while retaining the space and setting of an established residential location.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, designed around both day-to-day family life and entertaining. A large central island with breakfast bar separates the sleek, handleless kitchen from the dining area, while bifold doors open directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly extending the space outdoors. The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances including double oven, microwave, warming drawer, induction hob, dishwasher, boiling water tap, and space for a wine fridge, all finished with cordian worktops and complemented by rooflights flooding the space with natural light. The ground floor further benefits from wet underfloor heating throughout, providing efficient and comfortable warmth across the entire space.

A separate living room provides a more relaxed retreat, benefiting from the same contemporary styling and proportions found throughout. A dedicated ground-floor study offers an ideal work-from-home setup, while a generous utility room provides additional storage, housing the washer, dryer, water softener, and a vented extraction system.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a standout space with dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden and surrounding rooftops. It is complemented by a walk-in dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a high-spec en suite featuring dual basins, a walk-in rain shower, and illuminated mirrors. Two further bedrooms are well-proportioned, offering built-in storage and flexibility for family living, all served by a modern family bathroom. Bathrooms throughout also benefit from electric underfloor heating.

The converted loft adds a versatile fourth bedroom or multi-use space, currently arranged as a gym and workspace, enhanced by skylights and an open, airy feel.

The home has been fully redecorated and all flooring professionally sanded and refinished in December 2025, with engineered oak flooring running throughout and bespoke fitted storage added, including under-stairs cabinetry and built-in wardrobes.

Externally, the sunny south-facing rear garden has been professionally landscaped to create a private and functional outdoor space, with a large level lawn, established planting, and a composite decking terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

A key feature of the home is its advanced, fully electric energy system. The property benefits from an air source heat pump, fully owned solar panels, Tesla Powerwall battery storage, a dual MVHR ventilation systems, and an EV charge point. This setup provides a consistent temperature throughout the home, continuous fresh air circulation, and exceptionally low running costs. All systems are fully owned with no third-party leases, and energy tariffs are transferable.

The property was originally built in 2016 and still benefits from the remainder of its 10-year NHBC warranty (expiring September 2026), offering additional peace of mind.

Overall, Laven House offers a rare combination of contemporary design, high-spec finish, and future-focused efficiency, making it an exceptional long-term family home.
