2 bed flat for sale

Ardley Crescent, Bishop's Stortford CM22

A spacious and well-presented two-bedroom home offering versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, with a private balcony and access to an attractive communal courtyard garden.

The property forms part of a two-storey development of traditional brick and tile construction and is approached through a generous communal courtyard garden. Predominantly block paved and bordered by established hedging and planting, the courtyard provides an attractive approach to the covered front entrance as well as useful communal outside space.

Stepping inside, the accommodation opens into an impressive open-plan living and dining room, a bright and sociable space with wood-effect flooring and plenty of room for both lounge and dining furniture. French doors open directly onto the private balcony, creating a particularly appealing extension of the living space and providing an open outlook across the surrounding area.

The kitchen is conveniently positioned just off the main living area and is fitted with a range of attractive shaker-style units, complemented by work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is space and provision for a range of appliances, making this a practical kitchen that remains closely connected to the principal reception space.

The private balcony is a real feature of the property, offering space for a chair and planting and providing an elevated outlook over the neighbouring greenery and surrounding residential area.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there is an over-stairs storage cupboard together with access to the loft, providing useful additional storage.

Bedroom one is a generous double room with ample space for bedroom furniture. Neutral décor, carpeting and a large window create a light and comfortable principal bedroom.

Bedroom two is another useful and versatile room, currently arranged as a home office. The room opens out towards the window end and tapers towards the entrance, giving it an interesting layout while retaining practical usable floor space. It would lend itself equally well to use as a bedroom, guest room, study or dedicated home-working space.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the shower room, fitted with a large shower enclosure with glazed sliding screen, WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath. A frosted window provides natural light and privacy, with a radiator, tiled shower surround and patterned flooring completing the room.

Externally, residents have the use of the communal courtyard garden, which creates an attractive setting around the development and provides additional outside space alongside the property's own private balcony.

With its two-storey layout, generous living accommodation, two versatile bedrooms, private balcony and communal outside space, this is a distinctive home that should appeal to a variety of buyers.
