A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom family home, occupying a particularly prominent position on Mathams Drive and offered to the market for the first time in many years.

Set back behind an impressive frontage, the property enjoys a private front garden with further greenery beyond, giving the house a particularly open feel on arrival. There is ample driveway parking alongside a substantial double garage, while the accommodation itself has been extended over time to create an excellent amount of space for family living.

The ground floor is centred around a generous entrance hall, with a comfortable living room to one side and an impressive dining/family room to the rear extending to over 21ft and opening directly onto the garden. A separate kitchen/dining room, utility room and ground-floor WC complete what is a flexible layout with plenty of scope for the next owner to adapt to suit their lifestyle.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, alongside a separate family bathroom.

The property has clearly been a much-loved home for many years and, while it would now benefit from modernisation and redecoration throughout, this is very much part of the opportunity. The existing proportions, extended footprint and generous plot provide an excellent canvas for someone looking to create a long-term family home entirely to their own taste.

Outside, the rear garden is another real feature. Mature hedging and established shrubs provide a good degree of privacy, with the garden feeling pleasantly secluded and largely unoverlooked. There is good side access together with a decked seating area, providing an ideal spot for hosting friends and family or enjoying al-fresco dining during the warmer months.

Mathams Drive is an established and highly convenient Thorley location, within easy reach of the local parade of shops including Sainsbury’s and a range of everyday amenities. Bishop’s Stortford town centre, mainline railway station, local schooling and wider transport links are also readily accessible.

For buyers looking for space, position and the opportunity to create something of their own, homes of this nature and footprint in Mathams Drive are rarely available.
