4 bedroom detached house for sale

Seymour Cottage.
Countryside Charm Meets Contemporary Living

Welcome to an exceptional opportunity in the picturesque and highly sought-after area of Start Hill, Bishop’s Stortford — part of a rare greenfield development comprising three architecturally designed, low-energy homes. This pioneering project, which has gained planning permission despite its official countryside location, sets a new benchmark for sustainable rural living.

This particular home is a stunning four-bedroom detached new build, offering the perfect blend of space, style, and energy efficiency. Designed with precision and modern flair, the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area is bathed in natural light, seamlessly connecting to your private garden.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms offer comfort for family living or guests. The master suite boasts an en-suite and fitted storage, complemented by a high-spec family bathroom.

Sustainability is at the heart of this home, with heating provided by an air source heat pump, triple-glazed windows to retain warmth, and high-performance Rockwool stone wool insulation. An innovative acoustic solution using Pliteq — regenerated from landfill — isolates drywall from roof and wall structures for improved low-frequency sound control, while reducing assembly weight. Each home is also equipped with an EV charging point, making it as future-proof as it is comfortable.

Externally, the home’s striking roofline, feature cladding, and thoughtfully placed windows enhance both appearance and energy efficiency. With ample off-street parking, you’re well connected to London and Cambridge via excellent transport links, while enjoying the tranquility of a countryside setting.

Opportunities like this — combining sustainable design, rural charm, and modern convenience — are rare in Start Hill. Schedule your viewing today and take the first step toward owning this exceptional eco-conscious home.
