(ref:LK01) A stunning four-bedroom family home with a spectacular 135ft garden, exceptional entertaining space and a superb finish throughout.

153 Rye Street is a truly exceptional 1930s-style semi-detached home, beautifully refurbished and thoughtfully extended to create a substantial family residence that perfectly balances period charm with contemporary luxury. Set in one of Bishop’s Stortford’s most sought-after areas, this impressive three-storey home offers generous living accommodation, outstanding entertaining space and a spectacular south-westerly garden complete with home office and dedicated bar.

From the moment you step inside, the quality and attention to detail are immediately apparent. The ground floor offers two versatile reception rooms, including a wonderfully cosy living room centred around a log burner - the perfect place to unwind. Beyond this, the impressive extended kitchen/diner forms the true heart of the home. Finished to a high specification, the kitchen features a large central island, extensive storage and excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in storage, alongside a stylish family bathroom. The entire second floor is dedicated to the impressive principal suite, creating a private and luxurious retreat. The large bedroom benefits from excellent eaves storage, a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room and a Juliet balcony overlooking the magnificent rear garden, with far-reaching south-westerly views.

Outside, the 135ft rear garden is a genuine showstopper. A large sun terrace provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while further down the garden you'll find a superb dedicated bar - ideal for hosting friends, relaxing with a drink or settling in to watch the weekend's sporting fixtures. The garden also benefits from a high-specification Green Retreats home office, providing an exceptional dedicated workspace away from the main house.

To the front, there is off-street parking for three vehicles, with further readily available parking for up to two additional cars.
