3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Chain-free three-bed period house, 0.5 miles from station, scope to personalise.
Chain-free Victorian terrace in central St Albans
Set in the heart of St Albans, this three-bedroom Victorian terrace offers classic period charm and a rare, chain-free purchase close to the mainline station (0.5 miles). High ceilings, a front bay window and substantial internal floorspace provide a bright, flexible layout across two main floors plus a large cellar with development potential (subject to approvals).
The house suits first-time buyers or young couples wanting immediate central access to shops, restaurants and transport links. It is freehold and retains traditional features; the plot is a small, low-maintenance city-centre garden ideal for outdoor seating rather than extensive landscaping.
Buyers should note the property will benefit from updating: solid-brick walls are likely without insulation, some modernisation of services may be required, and the cellar needs inspection before conversion. Council tax is above average and the local area records very high crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ preferences.
Offered at £700,000, the home combines location and character with clear scope to add value through targeted renovation. Its central position and good broadband/mobile connectivity make it practical for commuting and flexible working, but realistic buyers must factor in improvement costs and local safety considerations.
