This property encompasses approximately 0.065 hectares (0.16 acres) and is situated in a quiet area to the northeast of Walkern village. Currently, the site features two brick-built garages that were previously linked to the adjacent Bockings House. A portion of the surrounding paddock will serve as a garden for any new development.
Accessed directly from Church End, the property benefits from a tranquil location on a no-through road, ensuring minimal traffic flow. The existing garages have tiled roofs and functional up-and-over doors, laying a foundation for potential renovation or redevelopment.
The site’s location offers an advantageous position near Walkern village, which boasts essential local amenities such as a primary school, post office, café, pub, and community centre. It is conveniently located just 1.58 miles from Stevenage town, with Letchworth Garden City and Buntingford also within easy reach at distances of approximately 4.7 miles and 4.2 miles respectively. Public transport options are readily available in the village, linking residents to Stevenage Station for direct trains to Cambridge and London Kings Cross.
Planning permission was granted on October 1st, 2025, for the demolition of the existing garages and the construction of a detached three-bedroom dwelling (planning reference 3/25/0834/FUL). The proposed home is designed with an approximate footprint of 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft), integrating a modern layout with traditional materials that complement the rural surroundings.
This property offers significant renovation and investment potential, allowing for customization tailored to personal or market preferences. The site is available freehold with vacant possession and does not come with known easements or rights of way.
Prospective buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding boundaries and any planning conditions attached to the site. Please note that further details regarding planning permissions can be provided upon request.
