## Description

A beautifully presented three bedroom semi-detached home set within this desirable and well-connected location. Set back from the road, the property enjoys a private driveway to the front and side as well as a flexible garden studio. Ingleside Drive is ideally positioned for easy access to the Lister Hospital, highly regarded schooling, excellent road links, and the many facilities found within both Stevenage New and Old Town.

The property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment by the current owners, finished to a high standard throughout. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a downstairs cloakroom, and a bright sitting room opening through to a dining area with a refitted kitchen off. The kitchen features sleek quartz worksurfaces, a comprehensive range of wall and base units, and integrated appliances.

Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes, with Bedrooms 1 and 3 benefitting having been recently fitted, together with a stylish family bathroom. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a raised decked entertaining area, lawn, and side access.

The garage has been part converted and extended to create a versatile garden room with power and bi-fold doors — currently used as a bar and gaming room but equally ideal as a home office, gym, or studio. The front section of the garage retains its up-and-over door, providing useful storage space.
