Introduction guide price £900,000 - £950,000 * Agent Hybrid welcomes to the market, a rare opportunity to buy a chain free, Grade II Listed Cottage, located in the heart of Stevenage Old Town. A property that must be viewed to appreciate the finer characteristics. The property is in the region of 500 years old and was formerly three workers cottages. Now one large family home, it enjoys spacious accommodation throughout, and the layout diversity could allow for separate 'annexe' type living.
The property was originally addressed as part of the existing Julians Road, but development over the years has seen the carriageway to the rear create a divide and now forms part of the Historic High Street. Some road noise from the rear is overcome by full seclusion all round and the beautiful Bowling Green, located at the front. As to be expected given the age of the property, you will find some uneven floors and low door frames in parts but this is overcome by the sight of original exposed beams, latched doors, leaded and decorative stained glass windows.
The property sits behind a low-level boundary wall, bordered by mature trees and offering privacy to the front. A gravel driveway to accommodate numerous cars is accessed via double gates. A gate and pathway lead you to an original front door.
Through the front door you enter a spacious and open plan Entrance Hallway, come Drawing Room. Leaded windows face the front and side aspect, and a latch door opens to one of three staircases, rising to the first floor.
Towards the rear of the entrance hallway is a home office area with custom made fitted mahogany bookcases. You will also find an under stairs coats cupboard.
Step down to the left from the entrance hallway and you enter the Lounge, featuring a brick built open inglenook fireplace. An open walkway passes some wall mounted historic photos of the cottage and leads you into the Dining Room. The dining room also features an original brick-built fireplace with electric wood burner. A further latch door leads you into the main kitchen, where oak base level units are complimented by a 6 gas burner range cooker and grey ceramic mosaic tiled work surfaces. A step up leads you into a separate Utility Room.
Leading right from the Drawing Room you step down to a utility kitchen area or boot room, complemented in the same design as the main kitchen, this time with a focal original stone alcove, with inset beam and housing a double-size electric range cooker. A side lobby leads out to a rear courtyard garden. A second staircase from the utility kitchen leads into a Home Office area with fitted shelves and large cupboards, originally the fifth bedroom.
A latched door from the Lounge leads into an inner lobby and in turn leads to a re-fitted, ground floor bathroom with built-in television. Featuring oak flooring, a traditional white three-piece suite, including a free-standing roll top bath and the addition of a large, fully tiled walk-in shower area with bench seating. Stairs rise to a first-floor landing, where latch doors open to Bedroom 2 (large double, with small walk in wardrobe) and the Master Bedroom, featuring a huge vaulted roofline, beautifully showcasing the exposed beams.
A third staircase from the Drawing Room rises to a spacious first floor landing, where you will find another good-sized Double Bedroom, the Home Office, a Dressing Room/Bedroom 4 and a Re-Fitted Bathroom featuring another roll top bath with TV above and a customised, glazed showerunit.
Externally, the property benefits from private front and rear gardens. You will also find a Swimming Pool, measuring approx. 27ft x 10ft and a fully detached Pool House with loft, that has had previous outline planning permission to convert to a separate Annexe to extend in size. The swimming pool is empty and currently covered over and hasn't been used for approx. 10 years. It could either be reinstated or covered over with decking. To the side, you will find a Detached and interlinked Double and Single Garage, with large first floor workshop above the double garage.
The current occupier owns substantial parcels of land around the property that were purchased with the intent of deterring any development nearby. Title plans available to view upon request and the land would be made inclusive as part of the sale.
