Walkern Road, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1

A rare opportunity to purchase this substantial Edwardian detached period home occupying a glorious, mature plot approaching a quarter of an acre, yet conveniently situated within the heart of the Old Town, just a short walk to the historic High Street, New Town Centre and mainline railway station providing fast direct trains to Kings Cross in approximately 23 minutes. This spacious family home boasts three well-proportioned double bedrooms accessed from a most impressive landing with the practical advantages of a family shower room. To the ground floor, there are two elegant reception rooms and a visually impressive reception hallway complete with the original staircase and patterned quarry tiled floor. The owners recently installed a new Howdens kitchen whilst previous improvements include the addition of an entrance porch and spacious sun room situated to the rear of the property providing the perfect vantage point to take in the views of the garden. Built in 1906 "Bretby" features elegant tall ceilings throughout retaining a number of fine period features and whilst some modernisation is advisable, the property has been well maintained by the current owners and offers the perfect opportunity to a discerning buyer to personalise the accommodation to their own specification with potential to extend the property further with additional scope to convert the loft subject to the normal planning permission being granted. The property enjoys the practical benefits of a double length garage with remote control roller door, gas central heating and double glazing whilst a long block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Viewing recommended.
