This Grade II-listed, 16th-century semi-detached house sits in St Michael’s Village, a conservation area moments from Verulamium Park and highly rated local schools. The house combines preserved period features—exposed beams, timber floors and a log burner—with sympathetic modern updates including a bespoke kitchen and a vaulted breakfast room. The plot includes a 60ft south-facing garden, detached brick outbuilding with light and power, plus garage and off-street parking.
Internally the layout suits family life: a large 20ft lounge, separate dining room, cellar for storage and a flexible garden room that could serve as a home office or studio. Three well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs and a stylish modern bathroom provide comfortable accommodation, while the cellar and garage add useful storage and utility space.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is Grade II listed, so any alterations will face planning constraints and may increase project times and costs. The house dates from 1600 and, despite modernised rooms, will require ongoing maintenance typical of historic buildings. There is a single family bathroom, which buyers wanting additional bathrooms should consider.
Overall this is a substantial, character-rich family home in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent local amenities. It will particularly suit buyers who value period charm, generous living space and proximity to parks and top schools, and who are comfortable working within listed-building restrictions.
