3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Symonds Green Lane, Stevenage, Hertfordshire SG1

A spacious three bedroom traditional semi-detached home presented in excellent condition throughout whilst occupying a generous, private plot complete with a substantial garden studio, ideal for home working or entertaining.

Located near the end of a no-through lane with access to fields and pathways, the cottage is one of just four properties in the old hamlet which is now the conservation area of Symonds Green. The cottage was originally built to accommodate the workers of the Nursery which was attached to the local farm which still stands and whose greenhouses would have expanded east from the back garden covering the land now occupied by the houses of Eastbourne Avenue.

The property has been substantially improved by the current owners with the ground floor layout reconfigured to provide a generous refitted open-plan kitchen/dining room situated to the front of the property whilst the comfortable lounge overlooks the rear garden with the practical advantages of a utility area and a modern fitted downstairs shower room/wc. The first floor landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms with a modern fitted en-suite bathroom serving the master bedroom. In addition there is a useful loft storage room with cabin stairs rising from one of the bedrooms.

Further practical benefits include gas fired central heating and double glazing whilst the block paved driveway to the front of the property provides off-road parking for three/four vehicles. The property is offered for sale chain free and viewing is highly recommended.
