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 particularly rare opportunity to acquire an extended three-bedroom detached home, tucked away within an exclusive collection of just six properties moments from the heart of Bishop’s Stortford.
Built in 2012 as part of a small development comprising just four detached and two semi-detached homes, the property offers something increasingly difficult to find locally — a modern detached home within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline railway station.
The current owners have further enhanced the original accommodation, most notably with a superb extension to the rear which has transformed the main living space.
The result is a fantastic open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, designed equally well for everyday family life and entertaining.
Generous rooflights flood the room with natural light, while wide bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out during the warmer months.
There is excellent space for both a substantial dining table and relaxed seating area, making this very much the heart of the home.
Alongside this is a separate bay-fronted living room, providing a more traditional and comfortable reception space away from the open-plan area.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
One of the real strengths of the home is its condition.
It has been exceptionally well maintained and upgraded by the current owners and offers a genuinely turn-key opportunity, allowing the next owners to simply move in and enjoy it without the immediate expense or disruption associated with refurbishment.
Outside, the rear garden provides a private space for entertaining and relaxing, working particularly well with the bi-folding doors from the extended living accommodation.
The property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces, an especially valuable feature given its central position.
South Road is one of Bishop’s Stortford’s most convenient locations for those wanting access to the town on foot.
The mainline railway station is within easy reach, offering direct services towards London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, while the town centre provides a broad range of shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities.
South Mill Arts is also just a short distance away, while excellent road connections via the M11 and A120 make the property particularly well placed for commuters.
For buyers looking for a modern, detached and beautifully maintained home without compromising on a central Bishop’s Stortford location, opportunities of this nature are rarely available.
