2 bed terraced house for sale in Wharf Road, Bishop's Stortford, CM23 (ref: b62a2ee5-1...)

A beautifully presented and wonderfully individual two-bedroom character cottage, tucked away in the heart of Bishop’s Stortford town centre and just a short walk from the mainline railway station.

Full of personality and considerably upgraded by the current owners, the property combines the charm of an older home with a stylish, contemporary finish and is ready for a new purchaser to move straight into and enjoy.

The ground floor is centred around a fantastic open-plan living and dining space, creating a sociable layout that works equally well for relaxed evenings at home or entertaining friends. Character features remain throughout, including exposed brickwork and fireplaces, while the current owners have introduced warmer contemporary touches including timber-effect flooring and a feature wood-panelled wall.

The dining area sits towards the front of the home, with space for a full-size table, before the accommodation flows naturally through the living area and into the recently updated kitchen. Finished with shaker-style cabinetry, wood-effect worktops and integrated appliances, the kitchen feels smart and modern while remaining sympathetic to the character of the house.

Beyond is the ground-floor bathroom, which has also been completely modernised with contemporary fittings, marble-effect tiling and a heated towel rail.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly charming, with exposed painted brickwork, built-in storage and recessed shelving, while the second bedroom offers excellent versatility and currently incorporates a useful dressing/work-from-home area.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden has also been transformed by the current owners, with extensive decking creating a brilliant low-maintenance space for summer entertaining, barbecues and al-fresco dining. There is also rear pedestrian access.

The location is a major part of the appeal. Despite its tucked-away setting, the property sits right in the centre of Bishop’s Stortford, placing the High Street, cafés, restaurants, shops and mainline railway station all within easy walking distance — ideal for commuters or anyone wanting to enjoy town-centre living without relying on the car.

Residents' permit parking is available locally.
