Nearly new opposite the train station this beautifully appointed one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of the prestigious Switch yard house,offers an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, or investors.
Accessed via a lift, the apartment features a contemporary open-plan living space, complete with a stylish high-end kitchen and a generously sized living/dining area that opens onto a private balcony. While identical in layout and finish to other apartments within the block, this particular property enjoys a different, more private outlook that does not face the train station.
The double bedroom includes integrated wardrobes, and the sleek bathroom showcases the apartment’s high-quality finish. The communal areas — including a secure ground-floor locker area for post and deliveries — are exceptionally well maintained. The landscaped communal garden, accessible from the first floor, offers a rare and desirable green space.
Although this property does not include a designated parking space, there are opportunities within the development to rent or purchase one separately, offering future flexibility.
A standout feature is its exceptional location — less than a two-minute walk from Bishop’s Stortford train station, with direct services to London Liverpool Street in around 35 minutes and to Cambridge in about 40 minutes, making it ideal for commuters.
