A Note From The Current Owners Our house has been a very happy family home for us for 25 years. The location has been brilliant for the town, the schools, the station, the airport and the M11 and this is why we have stayed put for so long! Our three children have had a great deal of independence from an early age, as they have been able to travel on foot to a large number of activities, in addition to being able to meet their friends easily. Over the years we have sympathetically extended and greatly enhanced the property, whilst retaining the original period features, including the wood panelling and fire places and we still have the original oak front door! The house has a spacious ground floor giving plenty of family space, so as a family of 5 we have never felt on top of one another. Many family parties have been enjoyed over the years in the open plan kitchen / dining / garden room area. The wonderful garden has been home to a variety of play equipment when the children were younger, and now hosts a self-contained gym, also ideal for a home office. Our children have been privileged to attend several of the outstanding schools that are located in the town including the Bishops Stortford College, The Bishops Stortford High School and The Herts & Essex High School. It will be a huge wrench to leave our home but as our family has grown up and moved away we feel it is now time for a move ourselves.
