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 fantastic opportunity to purchase a charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage, positioned on the ever-popular Jervis Road, just a short walk from Bishop’s Stortford town centre and mainline railway station.
The property offers characterful accommodation, a good-sized private rear garden and the added benefit of a separate garage, which could potentially be removed to create off-street parking, subject to any necessary permissions.
The property is approached via a small front courtyard garden, with the front door opening into a spacious open-plan living and dining room.
This is a wonderfully characterful and practical space for everyday living, with windows to both the front and rear aspects allowing plenty of natural light.
There is ample room for both a comfortable seating area and dining table, while the period fireplace adds a lovely focal point and enhances the overall charm of the home.
To the rear of the ground floor is the kitchen, which enjoys a window overlooking the garden, along with a door providing direct access outside.
The kitchen is well positioned, offering a natural connection between the living space and the garden.
To the first floor, the property offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom, which is a particularly attractive feature for a cottage of this style and age, where bathrooms are often found downstairs.
The main bedroom is a generous size and benefits from fitted storage, while the second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is currently used as a child’s room, also benefitting from built-in storage.
The family bathroom is a good size and comprises a three-piece suite.
Externally, the property enjoys a rarely available and surprisingly generous rear garden, particularly for a home of this style and in such a central location.
The garden begins with a patio seating area, leading onto lawn, creating a lovely space for day-to-day enjoyment, summer entertaining, al-fresco dining or simply relaxing during the warmer months.
The property also benefits from a separate garage, providing useful additional storage, with potential to be removed and converted into a parking space if desired, subject to any necessary permissions.
Jervis Road is a popular and well-regarded residential road, ideally positioned within easy walking distance of Bishop’s Stortford town centre, the mainline railway station and a wide range of local amenities.
Bishop’s Stortford is an historic market town set beside the River Stort, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, schools, recreational facilities and everyday conveniences.
The town also benefits from a mainline railway station providing regular services to London Liverpool Street, while the M11 is located on the eastern edge of the town, offering access to London, the M25, Cambridge and the wider motorway network.
Stansted Airport is approximately four miles away and provides a wide range of national and international destinations.
