Originally designed by architects Peter and Lindsey Wislocki for their own use and built in 2000, this strikingly proportioned three-bedroom detached house is surrounded by a generous plot containing a mature landscaped garden and substantial gravel drive.

The front door sits beneath a first-floor overhang that acts as a sheltered porch. The entrance hall is screened from the open-plan living space by a double-height partition, faced on one side by travertine slips. The main space has a dramatic double-height volume with soaring glazing that reaches to the ceiling, connecting the room to the garden.

On either side, more intimate spaces contain the reception, kitchen and dining areas. Also at ground level is a utility room and separate WC.

A gallery walkway connects the bedrooms on the first floor and overlooks the living space below. The master bedroom sits at one end, a large space with views to the garden, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.

The house is surrounded by a beautifully laid garden at the rear, with mature bamboo screening, and at the front by a large gravel drive with space for a number of cars. A fenced-off area beyond the drive conceals a useful space for bikes and garden equipment.

The house is positioned on a quiet residential close just to the west of Stevenage’s Old Town centre, where there is a range of shops, including a Waitrose supermarket, local pubs and restaurants. The closest train station is Stevenage (around 15 minutes’ walk), offering fast and frequent mainline services into London King’s Cross and Moorgate (change at Finsbury Park for Moorgate). Journey times range between 19 and 26 minutes.

The A1(M) provides a quick and easy route into London and connects Stevenage to the popular towns of Welwyn Garden City (approximately 15 minutes’ drive) and Hatfield (approximately 20 minutes’ drive).
