Summary - 31 BARNFIELD ROAD HARPENDEN AL5 5TH
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful house with sizable kitchen/diner and driveway parking near top schools.
Four bedrooms including loft conversion
Set on a desirable Harpenden road, this extended 1930s semi‑detached house offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen/dining space — a practical family layout within a mile of the town centre and mainline station. The property combines period Tudor‑Revival character with modern comforts such as double glazing and a contemporary kitchen, plus off‑street parking and a decent rear garden for children to play.
The house will particularly appeal to families wanting good local schools and a short commuter journey. Accommodation includes a utility and ground‑floor cloakroom, a first‑floor bathroom and a converted loft bedroom, giving flexible space for home working or growing children. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the area is very affluent with low crime levels.
A realistic buyer should allow for some modernisation and improvement to maximise the home’s potential: the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and bathrooms and some finishes would benefit from updating. There is scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning consent) to increase living space and value.
Freehold tenure, mains gas central heating and recent double glazing are practical advantages, but note council tax is above average. Overall this is a well‑located family home offering character, space and clear opportunities for sensible investment and improvement.
