A picture-postcard Grade II listed cottage set in the heart of St Albans, just moments from St Peter’s Church and the mainline station. The house blends historic character—exposed features, a feature fireplace and diamond windows—with modern conveniences such as a refitted kitchen and an updated shower room. The layout includes a front lounge, separate dining room and two bedrooms across two floors, totalling about 844 sq ft.
Outside, a landscaped courtyard and a versatile garden room/home office extend usable space and suit remote working or hobby use. Residents-only permit parking is available directly outside, and excellent transport links and a wide range of local shops, cafés and top-rated schools make the location particularly convenient for first-time buyers and commuters.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or refurbishment plans. The plot is small, internal rooms are modest with relatively low ceilings in places, and parking is on-street with permit controls rather than private off-street parking. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which buyers should consider when assessing security and insurance needs.
Overall this cottage will suit buyers who value central location, period character and a ready-to-live-in home with a useful garden office, but who are comfortable working within the constraints of listed status and a compact plot.
