5 bed detached house for sale

Start Hill, Bishop's Stortford CM22

Steeped in over 400 years of history, this beautiful five bedroom Grade II listed home is filled with character features to love. Complete with swimming pool and pool house, a beautiful southwest facing garden, gated driveway and double garage with annexe potential - welcome to Great Hallingbury End.

Some homes leave lasting impressions and this is certainly one. Packed full of historic detail from its casement windows to rich oak beams, it’s filled with warmth and charm. From the start, serious kerb appeal is on offer with a gated gravelled driveway and double garage offering great potential for annexe conversion (STP). Inside, find a collection of rooms with plenty of charm and opportunity to add your own stamp (STP). At its heart the stunning living room with its striking beams and toasty fire is something special - a terrific space to enjoy evening drinks with friends. What’s more, there’s an additional living room - perhaps a great movie snug, children’s playroom, or home office if needed. Within the kitchen find timeless shaker cabinetry, integrated double oven, microwave, hob and wine chiller, plus plenty of space for a sofa and breakfast seating. Completing the ground floor, find the utility room and separate WC.

Upstairs sit five bedrooms, with the primary complete with its ensuite shower room. Full of character, we love the vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and built in wardrobe space. In addition, the upstairs is also home to the family bathroom - again with plenty of scope to add your own style.

Outside the stunning southwest facing garden measuring in the region of 3/4 acre is full of the wow factor! Complete with patio, lush green lawn and beautifully established trees and planting, it’s a dream for families and waggy tailed friends. The perfect retreat to make forever memories - the swimming pool and pool house, complete with WC, makes this the ultimate hosting spot.

Sat along Dunmow Road, a stones throw from the beautiful canopy of Hatfield Forest, Great Hallingbury End offers great commuter links, great local schools and nearby towns that pack a punch. Just a short drive to the M11 along with Bishop’s Stortford and Stansted Airport rail lines, getting into London and beyond is made easy here. Closer to home, the nearby town of Bishop’s Stortford offers a superb collection of eateries, cafes and foodhalls, from Waitrose to M&S, plus great parks, entertainment and leisure facilities. Our local recommendation has to be the nearby Lion and Lamb in Little Canfield - a much-loved favourite, whose sharing roast is yum! All told - homes like this don't come around often.
