This extended detached Arts & Crafts home on Waverley Road offers generous living space and family-friendly features in a very affluent St Albans neighbourhood. Bright, sociable ground-floor rooms include a large kitchen/diner with sensor skylights and French doors to a landscaped rear garden — ideal for entertaining and family life. The lounge’s log burner and exposed floorboards add period character and comfortable seasonal warmth.
Upstairs provides multiple bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom; one bedroom has an en-suite. The layout suits a growing family or parents wanting convenient access to strong local schooling, the city centre and the train station — useful for commuters. Off-street parking on a block-paved driveway and a decent rear garden add practical everyday convenience.
There are some important practical points to note: the house was constructed in the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors may mean further insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades are required to reduce running costs.
Overall this property combines period charm and comfortable, versatile living space in a sought-after, family-oriented location. Buyers seeking character with scope to improve energy efficiency will find good potential here; confirm bedroom count and specification details during viewing or survey.
