Fairview Road, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1 2NE

*** SALE AGREED PRIOR TO ONLINE MARKETING!

*** A fantastic opportunity to acquire this traditional three-bedroom extended detached home, occupying a glorious double-width plot of approximately one-third of an acre, set within one of the Old Town’s most sought-after locations.

Ideally positioned, the property is just a short walk from the historic Old Town High Street, the New Town pedestrianised centre, Leisure Park and the mainline train station, offering fast links to Kings Cross in approximately 23 minutes.

The property boasts exceptional kerb appeal, set well back from the road behind a sweeping block-paved driveway, complemented by an established front garden and a substantial, larger-than-average detached garage.

The rear garden is, in our opinion, one of the finest on the road.

This rare double-width plot has been beautifully maintained by the current owners, featuring manicured lawns, deep well-stocked borders, and mature specimen trees, all enjoying a sunny and private aspect.

Additional benefits include double glazing and gas-fired central heating.

The accommodation comprises a wide and welcoming reception hallway, leading to an open-plan lounge/dining room spanning the full width of the property, with direct access to the rear garden and a sunroom/lean-to.

There is a modern fitted kitchen, a deceptively spacious utility room, a downstairs cloakroom/WC, as well as both a family room and a separate office/study Upstairs, the generous landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a spacious four-piece family bathroom.

The property also offers significant potential for further improvement and extension, providing an excellent opportunity to create a substantially larger family home, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
