A rare opportunity to purchase this attractive two double bedroom detached home occupying a surprisingly spacious, private plot with attractive cottage style gardens extending to all sides of the property whilst enjoying a pleasant position within this highly Old Town Crescent, just a short walk to the historic High Street with the mainline railway station beyond providing fast direct links to Kings Cross in approximately 23 minutes.
The generous plot provides ample scope to extend (subject to planning) whilst in our opinion the property also represents an ideal opportunity for discerning purchasers looking to downsize to a smaller property whilst retaining a detached home with an excellent degree of privacy.
In full the accommodation comprises an entrance porch, reception hallway, downstairs cloakroom/wc, generous open-plan lounge, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, first floor landing leading to two double bedrooms and a family shower room. Further practical benefits include a sizeable single garage with adjoining garden store and a long block paved driveway providing off-road parking for at least two vehicles.
The property is offered for sale chain free and viewing is highly recommended.
Location
Stevenage comprises both the New and Old Towns and is conveniently situated within easy access of the A1M offering easy access to London, the M25 and also to the North. Local road links provide access to adjacent towns including Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Welwyn Garden City and Hertford. Stevenage is currently undergoing a £1billion Regeneration Plan. The initial plan will include the development covering 14.5 acres of the town centre and introducing 11 new buildings including residential, leisure, community, commercial and retail facilities. The Historic High Street in the Old Town offers a good selection of shops, cafés/restaurants, public houses, a Library and two Doctor’s Surgeries. In addition, the area is well served by Lister Hospital and a good selection of local primary and secondary schools. The New Town currently provides a large pedestrianised shopping centre and retail parks together with the Gordon Craig Theatre, David Lloyd Health Club, the Leisure Park (truncated)
