House For Sale £675,000
A fantastic opportunity to purchase this deceptively spacious, sympathetically extended Grade II Listed three/four bedroom semi-detached cottage dating back to the mid-18th Century enjoying a semi-rural location fronting an ancient leafy lane within the original grounds of the historic Chells Manor house on the eastern outskirts of Stevenage.
The original cottage retains a wealth of original features including exposed beams, timbers and brick built fireplaces whilst a recently added ground floor extension provides two versatile double bedrooms and a stylish shower room creating flexible accommodation over three floors ideal for multi-generational living or independent ground floor living space.
Occupying a generous, well maintained fifth of an acre plot set behind a deep, shingled frontage providing an abundance of off road parking the cottage promotes a semi-rural feel with a delightful private, well maintained rear garden.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a most comfortable sitting room with study recess and inglenook fireplace, stylish fitted kitchen, hardwood double glazed conservatory, "L" shaped inner hallway, two ground floor double bedrooms, downstairs shower room/WC, first floor landing leading to a further double bedroom with a most impressive four piece en-suite bathroom. A second staircase leads to a fourth bedroom on the second floor.

Viewing recommended.
