The Street, Bishop's Stortford, CM22

Set within a generous and private plot in the centre of the highly regarded village of Sheering, this rare offering comprises two substantial homes held on a single title. Approached via a privately owned lane and screened from the road by established greenery, Willow House and Willow Cottage enjoy a secluded setting with extensive grounds, making the property particularly well suited to buyers seeking flexibility, privacy and long-term potential.

Willow Cottage provides an excellent secondary residence and a high degree of independence. Entered via a spacious hallway, the accommodation includes a bright living room positioned to the front of the property with views over the driveway. To the rear, a large open-plan kitchen and dining space is filled with natural light from multiple windows and French doors, which open onto its own generous and private garden.

Also on the ground floor of the cottage are two bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room, a utility area and useful built-in storage. The first floor offers two further bedrooms, one currently arranged as a dressing room, along with a separate WC, making this an ideal home for extended family, guests or rental purposes.

The principal residence, Willow House, is a beautifully presented detached home offering three to four bedrooms and well-balanced accommodation designed to maximise light and space. At the heart of the property is an impressive open-plan dining area, which creates an immediate sense of scale on arrival. This space connects seamlessly to the upgraded kitchen/breakfast room, which benefits from a pleasant front-facing aspect and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. A striking full-height window allows natural light to pour into the dining area, complemented by a feature staircase that adds architectural interest.

Positioned separately, the sitting room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a log-burning stove, front-facing window and double doors opening out to the garden, enhancing the connection between inside and out. The ground floor is further supported by a practical utility room with external access, work surfaces and window, along with a cloakroom and additional storage.

Upstairs, a light-filled landing enjoys windows to both the front and rear. The main bedroom is a standout feature, incorporating a walk-through dressing area, extensive fitted storage, a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and a modern en-suite bathroom. Two additional double bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, while stairs lead to an upper-level room currently used for storage, offering clear scope to create a fourth bedroom, office or studio if required.

Externally, Willow House is complemented by a large and private rear garden. A swimming pool sits to the side of the property, with further potential for a pool house, garden room or outbuilding, subject to the usual consents. Mature trees form a natural boundary, providing both privacy and a peaceful outlook towards neighbouring green spaces and the village football pitch.

The wider grounds serve both properties and include extensive gravelled parking, a double car port and ample space for multiple vehicles. A former tennis court and additional land provide further versatility and are currently utilised as overflow parking for larger gatherings. Ownership of the private access lane leading to the homes is included, offering enhanced privacy and control.

This highly adaptable property presents an outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for family members, or income generation through long-term letting or short-term holiday use, all within a sought-after village setting. EPC Band and Council Tax TBC
