The Grove, Shephall Green, Stevenage

A large, extended and very well presented family home, in an exclusive gated development, just a short walk from excellent local schools.

Overall Description - This modern and very well presented detached family home was built in 2010/11. It has been recently extended to the rear and sits in an exclusive gated development close to local schools and other amenities. The heart of this family home is the lovely large open-plan kitchen/dining room which leads open-plan into a spacious and light family room, with vaulted ceiling, velux windows and a superb tri-fold door opening out into the garden. The property also has an entrance hall, sitting room, study, downstairs cloakroom and very useful utility/laundry room on the ground floor. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, family bathroom and three more bedrooms. The owners have extended the gravel driveway to the front and purchased extra garden to the side. At the back of the private garden there is access directly into the large garage, which could also be used as a home office or gym if so desired. This superb family home is in a desirable Shephall Green location close to good schools. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Location - This property sits in a pleasant location in Shephall Green, just up from what was originally the village green, and a short walk to both the Pear Tree Primary School and the Barnwell Middle School, making it a very popular location for professional family buyers. Just off the village green is the Grade II Listed C14th Church of St Mary as well as the Shephall Community Centre and the Old Red Lion pub and restaurant. There is a handy row of local shops just a ten minute walk away and excellent High Street shops and supermarkets in Stevenage town centre and the retail parks around the area. Stevenage is the home of the Lister Hospital and also has very good road and rail links with high speed trains to London from Stevenage station and the A1 motorway a short drive away. Shephalbury Park is a couple of minutes walk away with its cricket pitch, tennis courts, sports academy and open green spaces and there are plenty of excellent sporting and leisure facilities in and around the town for families to enjoy, not to mention the walking and cycling available in the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside.
