About

The Broadwater and Bragbury End area forms a large residential district in the south-eastern part of Stevenage. It is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of detached homes, terraces, and low-rise flats. The layout is characterised by numerous cul-de-sacs and green spaces woven between the streets. The area is served by several local schools, community centres, and shopping parades providing everyday essentials, creating a self-contained neighbourhood atmosphere.

A significant feature is the adjacent Broadwater, a large medieval lake and nature reserve that gives the area its name. This provides extensive walking paths and wildlife habitats, contrasting with the residential streets. The area also includes the Bragbury End sports fields and is bordered by the A602 road, which connects it to the town centre and wider road network. The architectural style is predominantly functional, reflecting its development as part of the Stevenage New Town expansion.
