Summary - Avenue St. Nicholas, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5 AL5 2BX
3 bed 2 bath Detached
High-spec, newly renovated home near Harpenden High Street and station.
Detached three-bedroom home in Harpenden conservation area
This recently and comprehensively renovated three-bedroom detached home sits in a gated pocket of Harpenden’s conservation area, about 0.1 mile from the High Street and roughly 0.5 mile from the station. The property was redesigned by a RIBA architect and updated in 2025 with a new roof, full rewiring and replumbing, triple-glazed windows, underfloor heating, and an air source heat pump—modern systems that should reduce running costs and future maintenance.
Interior finishes are high-spec: engineered oak floors, a bespoke kitchen with quartz composite surfaces and Miele appliances, and a roomy layout across approximately 1,447 sq ft. Outside there is a private courtyard garden, a large double garage with electric up-and-over door, additional driveway parking and five shared visitor spaces — practical for families and guests.
Ownership is a quarter share in the joint freehold, managed by a resident, with a modest service charge of £480. The long lease (977 years remaining) and EPC rating of C are positives; council tax is above average. Harpenden’s strong schools, shops and fast rail links to London make this attractive to families and professionals.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the area crime level is recorded as very high, which buyers should investigate further. The property sits in a conservation area which may restrict future external changes. While newly renovated, purchasers should confirm specifics of warranties and M&E documentation before exchange.
