" A large and very well presented Victorian home offering superb family accommodation in one of the most sought after streets in Old Stevenage.

Overall Description This is a large and well laid out Victorian semi-detached house, originally built in 1865, but extended twice to the rear and much improved since. It now offers excellent and flexible family accommodation in one of the most sought after streets in Old Stevenage. The property has two large reception rooms, both with beautiful oak parquet flooring. The first, to the front of the house, has space for a large dining table and chairs at one end and an informal family sitting room at the other. The second sizeable reception room is at the rear of the house and has French doors opening out to the sunny rear garden and patio. The kitchen sits in between and has a breakfast bar with space for a family of four to eat as well as a separate side porch and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The property has off-street parking next to a side gate with a path leading to the large 95' rear garden with patio, lawn and superb large summerhouse, with electric power fitted. Location This property sits in one of the best streets in Old Stevenage, made up of other attractive Victorian cottages and town houses, and nice and quiet and pet/child friendly. It is also within the catchment area for the Letchmore Infants and Nursery School, which scored 'outstanding' in the recent OFSTED report. The house is also in the catchment for the Almond Hill Junior School and the John Henry Newman School, both well regarded. It is just a couple of minutes walk from the excellent shops, pubs and restaurants along Old Stevenage's high street and ten minute's walk from Stevenage mainline railway station (fast and regular service to Kings Cross) making it perfect for buyers who need to commute to London. It is also just a few minute's drive from the A1, again, perfect for commuting.
