We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A truly rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully proportioned two bedroom ground floor maisonette, forming part of an attractive period property conversion on the ever desirable Rye Street in Bishop’s Stortford.
Offering high ceilings, generous room sizes and the standout benefit of a privately owned courtyard garden, this is a home that combines character, space and lifestyle in equal measure.
Internally, the property opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the impressive accommodation throughout.
To the front aspect sits a superb living room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window and enhanced by high ceilings and a feature fireplace.
A door from here leads directly into the private courtyard garden, creating a wonderful sense of connection between inside and out.
Across the hallway is the fantastic principal bedroom, again enjoying high ceilings and a large bay window to the front aspect, alongside built in wardrobe space.
This room benefits from a Jack and Jill style access into a convenient ensuite WC.
To the rear of the property lies the real heart of the home, a generous open plan kitchen and dining space, ideal for both everyday living and hosting.
The modern fitted kitchen offers ample storage and worktop space, complemented by windows to the side and front.
Double doors open directly onto the private courtyard garden, perfect for seamless indoor outdoor living during the warmer months.
A well presented family bathroom, recently upgraded by the current owners, features both a walk in shower and separate bath.
Adjacent to this sits the second bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, offering flexibility for guests, working from home or additional storage. Externally, this home continues to impress.
The private courtyard garden is owned solely by this property and arranged over two tiered decking levels, providing a fantastic low maintenance outdoor entertaining space.
To the rear is a shared lawned garden, enjoyed between this property and the maisonette above, along with access to a storage shed.
The property also benefits from driveway parking to the side, with additional permit parking available on neighbouring roads if required.
