This substantial Edwardian detached property offers circa 1,660 sq ft of well-proportioned family accommodation in a prime Harpenden location. Ground floor living includes a large open-plan kitchen/dining room that opens onto a south‑west facing garden, a separate living room, dining room and a useful study. Detached single garage and off-street parking add practical appeal for commuters and families.
The house retains period character such as fireplaces and sash-style windows, with many internal areas noted as well maintained and a modern kitchen and utility in place. Located minutes from the town centre and station and within catchments for several highly rated schools, the position is a strong value driver for purchasers seeking convenience and education options.
Practical considerations: the property is solid-brick original construction and double glazed, but insulation in the walls is assumed absent; there is clear scope to modernise, upgrade insulation and possibly extend subject to planning. Council Tax is Band G, which prospective buyers should factor into running costs. The sale is chain free, simplifying purchase timing.
Overall this home will suit a growing family or buyer wanting a character property close to amenities and transport links, with straightforward potential to add value through sympathetic modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements.
