This Victorian mid-terrace sits a short walk from St Albans city centre and offers genuine character with clear potential. The layout includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a private rear garden — practical for small families or couples who want more space in town.
The property is sold chain free and benefits from period features, bay/arched windows and solid brick construction. It measures around 748 sq ft and is well placed for excellent local schools, shops and fast commuter links. On-street parking and low local crime add to everyday convenience.
It does require renovation: modernisation works, improved insulation and updating to decor and services are needed. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the house will benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades. The garden and small plot are low-maintenance but limited in size.
For buyers seeking a characterful home they can personalise, or investors wanting a central rental with uplift potential, this property presents a straightforward project in a very affluent, well-connected neighbourhood.
