North Terrace, Bishop's Stortford, CM23 2HL

Coffee at Dada. A glass of wine at Paisa. The North Street eateries on your doorstep and Waitrose as your corner shop. From 1 North Terrace, the whole town centre is a walk, not a drive, and the house behind the front door more than lives up to the position. A townhouse over three floors, it opens with a dining room and dual-aspect sitting room, both with strip wood flooring and feature fireplaces. The kitchen leads straight out to the garden, with a study and downstairs cloakroom off the hall, so working from home and busy mornings are both covered. Upstairs, four double bedrooms across two floors. Bedroom one has its own en-suite shower room, with a stylish family bathroom alongside on the first floor, and bedrooms three and four sit on the second floor with the top of the house to themselves. Four proper doubles this close to the centre is not something you see often. Outside, the garden runs close to 30ft, with a generous sun terrace, lawn and well-stocked borders. Double gates open onto the terrace with scope for off-street parking, and a gated pedestrian path brings you home. Four doubles. Real character. Everything on foot.

Parking - Off street
