A spacious, extended 1930s semi in Bernards Heath offering flexible family living across three floors. The house pairs period character—bay windows and exposed brick chimney—with a large contemporary kitchen/dining/family extension that opens via bi-fold doors onto a wide southwest-facing garden ideal for afternoon sun and entertaining. The loft conversion provides a bright principal bedroom with en-suite and useful landing storage.
The ground floor layout includes a bay-fronted lounge with wood flooring, a fitted kitchen with island, a separate utility and a cloakroom WC. Practical features include a log burner in the family room, double glazing and a block‑paved driveway providing off-street parking for one to two cars. The property is offered chain free, simplifying the purchase for families relocating.
Notable considerations: heating is from an LPG boiler and radiators (not mains gas), and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect running costs. Council tax is described as expensive. While the house has been thoughtfully updated, buyers seeking a fully low‑maintenance or zero‑works move may wish to inspect the condition and insulation details and budget for any further energy-efficiency improvements.
Location benefits are strong for family buyers: excellent local schools, proximity to St Albans city centre and mainline station, low crime and fast broadband. The long, southwest-facing garden and flexible internal space make this a good long-term family home with potential to tailor finishes and improve energy performance over time.
