Set on a quiet residential turning in sought-after St Albans, this detached six-bedroom property blends original 1930s character with significant modern upgrades. A generous footprint across three floors provides flexible living: principal reception rooms to the front, a large open-plan kitchen/family/dining layout at the rear, and a private terrace stepping down to a lawned garden. The house benefits from a state-of-the-art solar energy system and air conditioning to the loft and conservatory, reducing running costs and increasing year-round comfort.
Accommodation suits a growing or extended family, offering four bedrooms on the first floor (main bedroom with en-suite) and two further bedrooms with a shower room on the top floor. A detached double garage with driveway access from Palfrey Close adds secure parking and storage. The location is a major selling point — excellent schools nearby, fast trains to London St Pancras in under 20 minutes, and a lively city centre with parks, restaurants and cultural amenities.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further insulation or window replacement may be needed to maximise energy efficiency. Council tax is quite expensive and local recorded crime is above average for the area, which should be considered. Overall this is a spacious family home with strong commuter credentials and clear potential for targeted energy improvements or cosmetic updating.
