Half Acres, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire

25 Half Acres has been in the ownership of the current vendors since 1957 and enjoys one of the very best locations in the town. Half Acres is a single track lane on the favoured northwest side of the town, almost opposite North Street and the property is at the very top of the lane and has no passing traffic. The town centre, mainline station and excellent local schools, including Bishops Stortford College, are all within a short walk.
Built in the 1930s and extended in the 1960s, the property is conventionally constructed in brick and blockwork under a tiled roof. The rooms are well-proportioned and either have views over the private rear garden or over the Bishops Stortford roofscape. The house has been well-maintained, but there is significant scope for both modernisation and extension, subject to the necessary consents.
The accommodation includes a generous entrance hall, a study and cloakroom, sitting room with fireplace and gas fire, a drawing room, which is a large room with a good ceiling height, fireplace and open views and opens into a conservatory. In the centre of the house there is a dining room and beside a kitchen/breakfast room which has a good range of storage cupboards and integrated appliances including an oven, hob and dishwasher. In addition, there is a utility room with storage cupboards and a modern Vaillant gas fired boiler,
On the first floor, on the landing there is a folding ladder leading to the partially boarded roof space. The master bedroom has a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and a modern shower room.
Outside, to the front of the property there is a generous parking and turning area for numerous vehicles, a pond with a water feature and two small terraces. There is a double garage with an automatic up and over door and a pedestrian access either side of the house leading to the west facing garden. Behind the house there is an extensive terrace, a water feature with a rill and a pump and beyond, lawns, fruit trees and herbaceous borders.
Agents note: The majority of Half Acres is an adopted road, the last 30 metres is private. There are some solar panels on the back of the house and we understand there is a contract with Scottish Power.
