Set back in a quiet cul-de-sac just 0.3 miles from Harpenden High Street, this substantial four-bedroom detached house is arranged over two floors and sits on a large plot with mature planting and a sunny rear garden. The sitting room is dual-aspect with a feature brick fireplace and views over front and rear gardens; the open-plan kitchen/breakfast and adjoining utility provide practical family living. A ground-floor study offers a useful home-working space or playroom.
The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite; three further good-size bedrooms share a family bathroom. An integral garage with separate workshop and private driveway offer generous parking and storage, and there is scope (subject to consent) to extend or develop the garage/workshop or convert the first floor to increase living space.
Interiors are somewhat dated and the property needs renovation, presenting a strong opportunity to modernise and personalise throughout. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing updated after 2002 and fast broadband. Important considerations: the local recorded crime level is very high and council tax is described as quite expensive, which buyers should factor into budgeting.
Ideal for families seeking space, proximity to excellent schools and a blank canvas for improvement, this house offers both immediate liveability and long-term development potential in a very affluent area of Harpenden.
