Set on Alma Road in central St Albans, this substantial Victorian semi offers over 2,300 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across four floors. High ceilings, sash bay windows and period fireplaces combine with a contemporary kitchen/dining space, skylights and a wood-burning stove to create a home that balances original character with modern living.
The principal suite was created by combining two original rooms and can readily be returned to two bedrooms if needed, giving useful layout flexibility. A vaulted second-floor bedroom with bespoke storage and en suite provides a private guest or teen retreat. Practical features include a basement/utility area, gated driveway parking and a sizable, well-screened rear garden with a generous side terrace for outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, contributing to its EPC rating of D (66). Council tax sits in a higher band, and as a period home some ongoing maintenance typical of older properties should be expected. These factors are balanced by the location — a short walk to the high street, mainline station, top-rated schools and city amenities — making it a strong family city-centre home with scope to personalise further.
