Summary - 18 DOWNLANDS STEVENAGE SG2 7BH
1 bed 1 bath House
Compact freehold house with rare wrap‑around garden and easy commuter links.
Freehold one‑bed house with allocated off‑street parking space
Set on a quiet cul‑de‑sac in Chells Manor, this freehold one‑bed cluster house offers surprisingly generous outdoor space for its size. The ground floor opens to an open‑plan kitchen/living area, while the first‑floor bedroom benefits from rooflights that bring natural light into the space. An allocated off‑street parking space sits conveniently to the rear.
The standout feature is the wrap‑around garden: mature planting, a lawn and a small paved patio create a private outdoor area larger than typical one‑bed homes nearby. The property’s brick construction and tiled pitched roof give straightforward, low‑maintenance exterior fabric, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Internally the home is compact at around 430 sq ft and will suit a first‑time buyer seeking an affordable ownership step or an investor wanting a lettable suburban asset. There are good local amenities within a few minutes’ walk — shops, Tesco and several schools — and public transport links nearby.
Buyers should note the modest internal floorspace and single bedroom accommodation limit future expansion without structural alteration. One nearby primary school (Lodge Farm) is currently rated as ‘Requires improvement’ by Ofsted, which may be a consideration for families prioritising school ratings. Overall this is a pragmatic, low‑upkeep freehold home with rare garden space for its size.
