5 bed detached house for sale

Whitney Drive, Stevenage, Hertfordshire SG1

Occupying a substantial, commanding corner position within this highly sought after Old Town cul-de-sac. An imposing, four-bedroom detached family home extended to provide an additional one-bedroom self-contained two-storey annexe, ideally suited to multi-generational living whilst offering potential to be combined with the main dwelling to provide a five-bedroom, four reception room family home of considerable proportions.

The property has remained in the same family ownership for approaching 50 years and as such requires a degree of modernisation whilst highlights of the unspoilt accommodation comprise a most impressive wide, welcoming reception hallway with views to the galleried landing above, a most comfortable, well-proportioned lounge with feature fire place and bi-folding double doors opening to the dining room. Further property features include two separate staircases rising to the first-floor with the practical benefits of gas-fired warm air and radiator central heating, double-glazing and a double width garage and driveway.

In full, the accommodation comprises a storm porch, a wide, welcoming reception hallway, two downstairs cloakrooms/WCs, lounge, dining room, kitchen, study, inner hallway providing access to the annexe lounge and kitchnette with a staircase rising to the annexe landing with bedroom and bathroom. An interconnecting door provides access to the remaining four bedrooms and an additional family bathroom.

The mature, private and well-maintained wrap around rear garden is a further highlight of the property being of an excellent size providing plenty of scope for further extensions if so required (subject to planning).

The property is offered for sale chain free and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the diverse range of accommodation on offer.
