This charming Victorian mid-terrace offers an efficient two-bedroom layout and plenty of period character across approximately 611 sq ft. A bright double reception room gives flexible living and dining space while a modern kitchen sits to the rear. The house benefits from double glazing and gas central heating for day-to-day comfort.
A major advantage is planning permission already granted for a two-storey rear extension (Ref No 5/23/2033), giving clear scope to create noticeably more living space and add value. The south-east facing garden captures morning and early-afternoon light and the small plot is manageable for low-maintenance outdoor use.
Location is a strong selling point: moments from Southdown amenities, close to East Common and within an easy walk of Harpenden town centre and station. Good and outstanding local schools make the area attractive to young families and commuters.
Buyers should note the home is compact and rooms are modest in size, making it best suited to a first-time buyer, couple or investor rather than those needing large family accommodation. The property’s solid-brick walls (as built) imply limited wall insulation; potential purchasers may wish to budget for any thermal upgrades if extending or refurbishing. Council Tax Band D applies.
