Property description
A Victorian four bedroom semi-detached house which has been completely renovated throughout and has a landscaped 150 ft. long rear garden.
The property was built around 1900 in a location close to the original railway station in an area known as Stevenage Old Town. There is approximately 2,240sq ft of accommodation over two floors, with sealed unit double glazed sash windows, gas fired central heating, and original features including fireplaces in most of the rooms, high ceilings, period style door furniture, ironmongery and brassware, ornate cornicing, picture rails and exposed floorboards. The ground floor has two separate reception rooms, a cloakroom, an over 22ft kitchen/breakfast room with fitted appliances, a utility room, and a store room. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a main bathroom. There is scope for a loft conversion to create additional bedrooms.
Kitchen/Breakfast room
The contemporary style kitchen has a range of grey handle less base and wall units, including deep pan drawers, and a dresser unit with glazed display cabinets. The grey stone effect work surfaces have matching upstands and splashbacks, and an inset sink with a Quooker boiling water tap and water softener. Integrated appliances include a Neff digital oven with a matching combination microwave over, an inset induction hob with concealed extractor canopy, and a dishwasher.
