Summary - 1 CRABTREE LANE HARPENDEN AL5 5TA
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious Victorian four-bed with 83ft garden and air‑conditioned garden room, steps from town and station.
Prime central Harpenden location, short walk to town and station
Set in the heart of Harpenden, this handsome four-bedroom detached home blends Victorian character with useful modern updates across circa 1,655 sq ft. Reception rooms feel generous, and the property is ready to occupy while offering clear scope for extension subject to planning permission. The long rear garden (over 83 ft) and private driveway add rare town-centre outdoor space and parking.
The house will particularly appeal to families and professionals who prioritise location: it is within easy walking distance of the town centre and station, and close to several highly regarded primary and secondary schools. A large, air-conditioned garden room with adjoining store provides flexible space for home working, play or leisure, effectively increasing usable accommodation.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, heated by a gas boiler and radiators, and fitted with double glazing installed before 2002. Council Tax sits in Band G, which reflects the area and size and should be factored into running costs. Any buyer planning to enlarge the footprint should note that further work is possible but would require planning approval (STPP).
Overall the house offers a substantial, well-presented family layout in a prime central location, marrying period detail with contemporary convenience and generous outdoor space.
