One of the most recognisable and most photographed properties in Stevenage has been put up for sale.

The Tower House, built in an arts and crafts style, was designed by local architect and historian Edward Vincent Methold in 1895, forming a cluster of similar cottages close to the corner of Church Lane and Walkern Road within the Old Town Conservation Area.
