Church Lane, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1

A rare opportunity to purchase an extended three bedroom detached Grade II Listed cottage situated in an idyllic lane within the heart of the Old Town. A property of some historic note, the cottage laid derelict for a number of years before being rebuilt and refurbished by a local craftsman/builder. The property was renovated using traditional building methods consistent with a cottage of this age and retains a wealth of original charm and character throughout. The property boasts two striking brick inglenook fireplaces and a wealth of exposed timbers, oak flooring and latched and braced oak internal doors. More recently the current owners have thoughtfully extended and further improved the cottage providing an extra third bedroom and a stunning open plan kitchen/breakfast room complete with wrap around double glazed bi folding doors creating a seamless link between the cottage and the landscaped rear garden adding a contemporary yet practical twist to this period home. The property further boasts a contemporary refitted downstairs bathroom/wet room with waterproof polished plastered walls and floor, and the practical advantages of an en suite WC to the master bedroom. whilst the full accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, rear entrance hall, first floor landing, three double bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom. Other benefits include gas fired central heating, double glazing and plantation shutters (where specified) driveway providing off road parking for one small vehicle, a useful frontal courtyard in addition to the landscaped rear garden and residents permit parking to the lane outside. Viewing recommended.
