Set on a commanding corner plot at the entrance to a private road in Stevenage Old Town, this chain-free, four-bedroom detached home suits families who want space, privacy and easy access to local amenities. The house benefits from meticulously kept wrap-around gardens and an aluminium-framed glazed pergola off the lounge for all-weather garden use. A block-paved triple driveway provides off-street parking for three to four cars; the original garage has been converted into a useful home office.
Interior accommodation is generous and versatile: a vaulted reception hallway with part-galleried landing, four reception rooms (including study/library and home office), a modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility and refitted cloakroom/wc. Upstairs are four bedrooms, an en-suite shower to the master and a refitted four-piece family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are installed, and the home offers about 1,663 sqft of living space on a large plot.
Practical points and considerations are clear: the house was built in 1967–1975, so while some rooms and bathrooms have been refitted, buyers should expect period construction details and the potential need to update services or finishes over time. The garage conversion means permanently lost single-garage storage unless reversed. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which is an important local factor to weigh against the property’s many positives.
Location is a strong selling point for family life: a short walk to the Old Town High Street, close to Lister Hospital and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The home is freehold, chain free and offers room for flexible living, home working and entertaining in tidy, private gardens—an appealing package for growing families seeking convenience and outdoor space.
