5 bedroom house

Originally dating back to 1901, this stunning Victorian property was originally believed to be two separate cottages - having been subsequently redeveloped by a local school teacher, some 100 years ago. Now recognised locally for its’ incredible curb appeal and protruding wide frontage, the property may have the appearance of a typical bijou country cottage but in reality, this exposed red brick property is deceptively spacious expanding to over 2700 SQFT of accommodation. Extended only five years ago the property now boasts four reception rooms and three bathrooms and sits on a generous south facing plot of 0.18 acres. The multi car carriage drive to the front is ideal for families or owners with larger vehicles including a caravan or mobile home and for buyers looking for multigenerational living or income potential, Fallowfield also boasts a fully self-contained two storey annex with its’ very own private access.

STEP INSIDE:
Approached via a stunning reclaimed oak-stained glass entrance door and installed postbox style letterbox the main entrance porch is both light and spacious and comes decorated in porcelain period tiling and anthracite cast iron radiators. A set of stairs with spindled balustrades rises up to the left, with doors to both the living and kitchen areas, and the lounge positioned to the right hand side. A beautifully presented room with two bay windows, the room circumvents around a central exposed chimney breast with multi-fuel burner. The heart of this special home however, is undoubtably the kitchen/ breakfast room which forms one of many extensions our current vendors have undertaken under their ownership.

STEP INSIDE CONTINUED:
Measuring in excess of 22ft, the kitchen now features a beautiful stone central breakfast bar area, designer integral wall and drawer units, integral sink featuring Quooker taps, double oven with warming drawers, oak floors and plinth lighting. A particular favourite of ours however, is the integral stainless steel alcoholic beer puller! Continuing past the kitchen area the room leads into a family friendly snug/ TV room featuring a standalone focal wood burner. Off from the kitchen, there is a mainly open rear lobby which provides access to a downstairs cloakroom and utility which also interlinks into the dining room. The French doors leading out onto the patio are a particularly nice touch to this impressive, versatile room.

STEP UPSTAIRS:
Heading upstairs, and three of the four bedrooms as well as the bathroom, all come off a central vaulted landing which give access to each individual room, and is set under two large Velux windows. The main bedroom boasts a bank of modern fitted Turkish imported wardrobes and interconnects with the fourth bedroom currently used as a walk-in matching wardrobe. The second bedroom is currently used as a guest bedroom with en-suite, and the third a very generous sized room for a child’s bedroom. A family bathroom with shower concludes the space.

STEP OUTSIDE:
Accessed via a 130ft wide carriage drive - creating vehicular parking for several vehicles, the property sits some way back from the roadside on a level plot expanding 0.18 acres. Originally forming part of the garden, the side of the house now features; a purpose-built garden pod used as a study/gym, a ‘Hayloft barn’ styled timber shed, and ample space for larger vehicles or a mobile home. Facing south, the rear garden expands 60ft from the dining room and consists generally of an artificial lawn with raised perimeter borders, paved patio area ideal for Al-Fresco dining, and stone and paved decorative landscaping.

THE ANNEX:
The annex is currently used as an additional place for visiting guests, and sits adjacent to the house mainly positioned over the garage with its’ own self-contained entrance door and hall. The annex consists of a living/ dining area and separate kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs there is an 18ft x 17ft bedroom, expanding across the first floor, featuring an en-suite shower room. We also believe that this space would also make an ideal alternative place for home working.

ABOUT THE AREA:
With an eclectic mix of traditional detached properties and ultra modern residences, the road connects the hamlet of Todds Green to the nearby town of Stevenage and quaint village of Little Wymondley. The area is well served for excellent local school catchments, including; Hitchin Girls’ and Boys’ Schools, and St Christopher’s independent School and St Francis’ College which are both in Letchworth Garden City

TRANSPORT LINKS:
Rail links are just 1.3 miles from Stevenage train station from where commuter trains, to Kings Cross, take just 30 minutes. Road travel also has easy access via the A602 and A505 connecting Hitchin with Stevenage/ Luton and Cambridge and London respectively.
