We are delighted to present this attractive and imposing four-bedroom detached family home, perfectly positioned in a prime location within walking distance of Stevenage’s Historic Old Town High Street and just a short journey to Stevenage Mainline Train Station, offering fast and direct links to London King’s Cross and St Pancras. Built in 1896 during the Victorian era, this distinguished property seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary living. The current owners have taken great care to preserve original features, including decorative architraves, doors, and fireplaces, while thoughtfully extending the home to the rear and converting the former stables into additional living space. The property is framed by a well-maintained front lawn, mature shrubbery, and iron-gated access to a shingle-stone driveway providing parking for three cars. A glazed side vestibule serves as a welcoming space to store coats and shoes, leading to an industrial-style black-framed glass door, which opens into the elegant entrance hallway laid with classic black and white chequered flooring. From here, doors lead to a beautifully designed downstairs WC, featuring striking star-patterned floor tiles, half-height decorative wall panelling, a floor-standing vanity sink, and obscure dual-aspect windows for natural light and privacy. The lounge is bright and airy, benefitting from a bay window with shutters, oak wood herringbone flooring, and an open fireplace, while a separate office space—laid with matching flooring—offers flexibility as a home office, playroom, or formal dining room. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan family, kitchen, and dining area, thoughtfully extended to the rear. A cosy lounge area features a log burner, while the handcrafted kitchen by Planet Furniture in nearby Hitchin boasts dove grey shaker-style cabinetry, a striking navy blue island, white quartz countertops, and herringbone Amtico flooring. High-end appliances include Neff double ovens, an induction hob, and space for an American-style fridge freezer, while a bi-fold window provides a charming garden view. The dining area, with an exposed brick slip feature wall, offers ample space for a large table, and bi-fold doors seamlessly extend the space into the rear garden, inviting the outdoors in. A separate utility room includes base and wall units, a butler sink, and space for laundry appliances, with a glazed door providing convenient side access. The Master Suite, converted from the former stable space, is a standout feature, offering a spacious dressing/wardrobe area leading to a high-ceilinged bedroom with garden views. The en-suite is beautifully appointed, featuring a four-piece suite with a roll-top bath, vanity unit, and walk-in shower. Stairs from the hallway, passing an original stained-glass window, lead to the first-floor landing, which provides access to a sizeable loft space. Here, three well-proportioned bedrooms—two benefiting from dual-aspect windows and three retain their original fireplaces, making them ideal for a growing family. They share a bright and airy family bathroom, complete with a roll-top bath, a floor-standing vanity sink, and a spacious walk-in rainfall shower, all set against stylish patterned floor tiles. The huge, private rear garden extends up to 70 feet in length, offering a large block-paved patio, a well-maintained lawn, and a raised seating area with a newly rendered outdoor pizza oven—a perfect haven for al fresco dining. This exceptional home offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury, and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything it has to offer.
