About
Freshly renovated, ground-floor living on the edge of town It is rare to find a one-bedroom home that doesn't feel like a compromise on space.
Fresh to the rental market following a complete top-to-bottom renovation by its new owner, this sizeable ground-floor maisonette sits on an attractive, well-kept estate right on the edge of Stevenage.
It is a modern, clean slate designed for anyone who prefers life on one level without the hassle of shared apartment corridors. The Space Inside, the layout prioritizes breathing room.
The living room is generous enough for a proper lounge setup and dining table, flowing into a bright, updated layout that feels entirely fresh.
The bedroom is equally well-proportioned, offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. One of the biggest bonuses here is how practical it is.
Instead of trying to squeeze your belongings into awkward corners, the property features a remarkably large airing cupboard-giving you the kind of substantial storage space that is usually hard to come by in a one-bedroom home.
Please note: To help you visualize how your furniture might fit, we've included a mix of original photos alongside ”virtually staged” images to provide real context to the size of the rooms.
The Location: Countryside walks and easy connections If you love the outdoors, the location is a massive win.
With the Hertfordshire countryside practically on your doorstep, you have instant access to excellent walking trails-making it a fantastic spot for anyone who appreciates having green space to escape to after work.
Equally practical is how well-connected you are.
The property is ideally located for healthcare professionals needing quick access to Lister Hospital, and the excellent local transport links make commuting into the town centre or catching a train further afield entirely straightforward.
The Practical Bit: Affordability & Peace of Mind To ensure this home is a comfortable fit for your budget, we look for a household income of at least £30,000 per year (calculated at 2.5x the annual rent).
Unlike rigid systems, our affordability checks look at the whole picture-taking into account both your income and your outgoings so everyone can move forward with confidence.
We know that life isn't always a straight line; if you have a small shortfall on that figure, we can still move forward with a guarantor.
To keep things secure, the guarantor must be a home-owning relative based in the UK, passing an affordability check based on an annual income of at least £42,000 (3.5x the annual rent).
Upon successful application, a holding deposit of one week's rent (£1,153) will be required to secure the property. Is this the right fit for you?
While all applications are welcome, we want you to truly love living here, so let's be real about the fit.
This maisonette is an absolute standout for a Single occupant preferred or a couple who want a low-maintenance, high-quality home with easy access to work, travel links, and rural walks.
Because it's a dedicated one-bedroom layout, we believe it's best suited to households of no more than two adults to ensure you get the absolute most out of the space and feel completely comfortable from day one.
How to View Because this is a freshly renovated property in a highly practical edge-of-town spot, we strongly advise applying in advance to get ahead of the crowd.
