Jervis Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage, positioned on the ever-popular Jervis Road, just a short walk from Bishop’s Stortford town centre and mainline railway station. The property offers characterful accommodation, a good-sized private rear garden and the added benefit of a separate garage, which could potentially be removed to create off-street parking, subject to any necessary permissions.

The property is approached via a small front courtyard garden, with the front door opening into a spacious open-plan living and dining room. This is a wonderfully characterful and practical space for everyday living, with windows to both the front and rear aspects allowing plenty of natural light. There is ample room for both a comfortable seating area and dining table, while the period fireplace adds a lovely focal point and enhances the overall charm of the home.

To the rear of the ground floor is the kitchen, which enjoys a window overlooking the garden, along with a door providing direct access outside. The kitchen is well positioned, offering a natural connection between the living space and the garden.

To the first floor, the property offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, which is a particularly attractive feature for a cottage of this style and age, where bathrooms are often found downstairs. The main bedroom is a generous size and benefits from fitted storage, while the second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is currently used as a child’s room, also benefitting from built-in storage. The family bathroom is a good size and comprises a three-piece suite.

Externally, the property enjoys a rarely available and surprisingly generous rear garden, particularly for a home of this style and in such a central location. The garden begins with a patio seating area, leading onto lawn, creating a lovely space for day-to-day enjoyment, summer entertaining, al-fresco dining or simply relaxing during the warmer months.

The property also benefits from a separate garage, providing useful additional storage, with potential to be removed and converted into a parking space if desired, subject to any necessary permissions.
