Wharf Road, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, CM23

Listed 21 Oct 2026 · Bishop's Stortford
A charming two-bedroom character cottage, situated in a popular location within Bishop’s Stortford, just a short walk from the town centre and mainline train station. The property retains a number of original features and offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a character home. While some modernisation is required, the cottage is perfectly liveable as it stands, allowing the new owner to update and improve the accommodation over time. The ground floor comprises a good-sized lounge/diner, a separate fitted kitchen and a shower room. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms. Externally, the property benefits from a private, enclosed rear garden, which leads through a gate to a particularly useful feature for a cottage of this nature: an allocated covered carport parking space for one vehicle. There is also a useful storage shed. Combining character, potential and the added benefit of private parking, all within easy walking distance of Bishop’s Stortford town centre and train station, this cottage presents an appealing opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors alike.
