Summary - 30 Ridge Avenue AL5 3LT
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large garden, garage and strong school catchment—ideal for family refurbishment.
Chain free detached house on a large, mature plot
This spacious four-bedroom detached house on Ridge Avenue sits on a wide, mature plot of approximately 50ft by 66ft at its widest. The layout offers generous principal rooms — a large living room with bay window and an open-plan kitchen/dining space — plus study, utility and integral garage, giving scope for flexible family living. The property is sold chain free and offers clear potential for extension and value uplift, subject to planning permission (STPP).
The house was built in the 1950s, has double glazing fitted post-2002 and standard ceiling heights, but it needs modernisation throughout. Buyers should expect renovation works to update kitchens, bathrooms, heating controls and internal finishes; any extension will require planning approval. Council Tax is band F and therefore costly to run.
Positioned close to Kinsbourne Common and within easy reach of Harpenden town centre, station and highly regarded schools, the location suits families seeking local amenities and excellent schooling. The large, private rear garden and driveway/garage are strong practical assets for family life or further development.
Overall, this is a practical, well-sited family home with substantial upside for buyers prepared to renovate or extend. It will particularly appeal to those looking to create a tailored, long-term family residence in a very affluent area with low local crime and fast broadband.
