For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in St Mary's Close, Aston, Nr Stevenage£1,350,000

A distinctive, detached, five bedroom family house enjoying a generous and secluded plot of a third of an acre (0.35 of an acre) in this quiet and private cul de sac of similar detached homes. Built in 1988 to a high standard and specification the present owners have been here since the house was new and have maintained and improved their home during this time. The house is warm and temperate throughout the year due to replacement of the gas fired boiler and recent insertion of heat-resistant glass in all windows bordering the garden, including the conservatory panels, the conservatory roof, the patio door, and the fitting of high-quality new doors. The external fascia, drainpipes, ridge tiles and chimney have also been recently upgraded. Of particular note are the generous room sizes and the flexible layout of the living accommodation all of which is complimented by the beautiful, mature, landscaped gardens that enjoy a high level of privacy afforded by the high mixed hedges that enclose the gardens. There is a good deal of parking on the driveway which leads to the double garage. St Mary's Close is one of the most highly regarded addresses in the village and is formed of just eight large detached homes that each benefit from being in the heart of the village yet tucked away in this small cul de sac.
