A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and generously proportioned five-bedroom detached family home, positioned within the highly sought-after and private Friars Wood development in Bishop’s Stortford.

Gated side access leads to the rear garden, measuring approximately 50ft x 50ft, mainly laid to lawn with established flower and shrub borders and a sun terrace — all enjoying a southerly-facing aspect.
