Chain-free and set in Stevenage Old Town, this semi-detached home offers generous living space across an unusually large footprint. The ground floor includes a bright lounge with conservatory, a modern kitchen with breakfast bar, a useful downstairs WC and a flexible additional reception room suitable as bedroom three or formal dining. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a contemporary three-piece bathroom. Outside there’s off-street parking for up to three cars, an attached garage and a west-facing garden with patio, lawn, shed and greenhouse.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal — helpful for families or professionals who commute and work from home. The property’s location is a major asset: walkable to Stevenage Old Town amenities and close to the mainline station with fast services into London.
Buyers should be aware of some drawbacks. The property shows dated internal decor in places and will benefit from cosmetic updating to reach its full potential. There is only one bathroom and the house was constructed mid-20th century, so some buyers may wish to check services and fittings. The area records higher local crime levels, which some purchasers will want to consider alongside the nearby conveniences and transport links.
This house will suit families seeking space near good schools and town facilities, couples wanting easy rail access to London, or investors aiming for a well-located rental. It offers immediate move-in practicality with scope to personalise and add value through modernisation.
