Offered to market CHAIN FREE and is a fine example of a striking Edwardian four-bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a prominent corner position on Church Lane and Basils Road, adjacent to John Bunyan Baptist Church in the heart of the Old Town. Just a short walk from the historic High Street and mainline station, this beautifully presented and deceptively spacious home blends period charm with modern convenience.
The property features distinctive corner bay windows enhancing its kerb appeal, alongside a wealth of original features including panelled doors with brass fittings, high ceilings with picture rails, an impressive staircase, and multiple fireplaces, including a standout marble fireplace in the dining/family room.
The accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, traditional hallway, comfortable lounge with bay window and fireplace, and a spacious dining/family room with French doors opening to the garden. A modern kitchen/breakfast room is complemented by a utility area and downstairs WC, with gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four bedrooms, three being well-proportioned doubles, many with original fireplaces and features, plus a modern family bathroom.
Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with seating areas, enjoying views towards the adjoining church, and includes a useful home office/workshop.
Located in Stevenage, the property benefits from excellent local amenities, with the Old Town offering a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants, and the New Town providing further leisure facilities including Fairlands Valley Park and the Gordon Craig Theatre. The mainline station offers fast links to London King’s Cross (approx. 23 minutes).
