Set on a large plot at the end of a terrace, this two-bedroom house offers clear scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning (STPP). The property includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms, providing sensible accommodation for refurbishment or rental.
Key value drivers are the substantial plot, detached-style end position with off-street parking for several cars and a garage. The location on the edge of Kensworth places countryside attractions nearby, with good road links to the M1, Luton Airport and rail connections at Harpenden and St Albans.
The house requires renovation throughout: heating is by electric storage heaters, glazing is older double glazing, and external walls are cavity built with assumed lack of insulation. Buyers should factor in upgrade costs for thermal performance, wiring and general modernisation. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average and the property sits in a very affluent, low-deprivation wider area.
For investors or buyers seeking a project, the combination of plot size, parking and a garage gives tangible potential — either to improve as a high-yield rental or explore modest redevelopment (STPP). Council tax is noted as affordable, and broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting modern occupier needs.
