This attractive three-bedroom mid-terrace on Oxford Street blends Victorian character with ready-to-live-in presentation. The home has classic features — bay window, sash-style glazing, and a period fireplace — while offering practical modern comforts such as a fitted kitchen, a modern ground-floor bathroom and double glazing. The loft is fully boarded for useful storage, and the property is freehold.
Externally the south-east facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a private, low-maintenance retreat with seating areas and rear access. The plot is small but well designed, ideal for outdoor entertaining or safe play for young children. The house is a short walk from Watford town centre and within easy reach of several highly rated primary and secondary schools.
The property suits first-time buyers or young families seeking a central location with good schools nearby and fast broadband and mobile signal. Internally the layout is traditional: cosy front sitting room, kitchen, and one bathroom; two double bedrooms plus a smaller third bedroom accessed via the rear double — useful as a nursery, office or dressing room.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the house is compact at about 750 sq ft and the walls are original solid brick with no known insulated cavity, so heating costs may be higher than newer builds. The area records higher local crime statistics, so prospective purchasers should factor local safety considerations into their plans. Overall the property offers period charm, storage in the boarded loft and a peaceful garden — a straightforward, characterful starter home in a central Watford location.
