Pearse House is a charming Victorian mansion located in the town of Bishop’s Stortford, on the border between Hertfordshire and Essex. Just minutes from the M11 and Stansted Airport, it is set in its own grounds and has loads of character.

History
Pearse House was built as a family home in 1870 and was used as such until World War II. It has had many different uses on its journey to its current use as a Hotel and Conference Center.

These include:

Annex to Herts & Essex Hospital 1939 – 1943.

Mess of officers at USAF 344th Bombardment Group 1944/45.

Herts & Essex Girls School Boarding house 1946 – 1960 (when Miss Pearse was headmistress, hence the house’s name change in the 1960s).

Hertfordshire Education Committee 1960 – 1977.

the present day
While the surrounding area has changed dramatically with the growth of the town of Bishop’s Stortford and Stansted Airport, ironically the house itself has remained as it was and would be easily recognized by its former owners.

The current owners have sought to retain the atmosphere and comfort of this 19th century Victorian family home, while adding the modern conveniences and facilities demanded by 21st century business guests.

Now converted into a hotel and conference centre, it offers excellent restaurants and various meeting and conference rooms for private and business use.
