Step into a much-loved 1930s detached home on sought-after Marshalswick Lane, ideally placed for excellent local schools, The Quadrant’s cafés and St Albans city centre. The house blends period charm with contemporary family living: a bright living room, a dedicated study for home working and flexible reception rooms offer calm and space for everyday life.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, fitted with stone worktops, a central island and an open fireplace. Adjoining family room with a bay window and garden doors creates an easy flow to the rear terrace, while a generous driveway and landscaped frontage provide practical off-street parking.
Accommodation includes four good-sized first-floor bedrooms (one ensuite) plus a top-floor bedroom with its own ensuite — ideal for guests, teenagers or a private retreat. The house sits on a very large, south-west-facing garden of over 200ft with a substantial patio, perfect for entertaining, gardening projects or family recreation.
Practical points to note: double glazing install date is unknown and walls are partially insulated (assumed), which may mean energy-efficiency improvements are needed. Council tax is quite expensive. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home with strong schooling and location advantages and clear potential for further modernisation to suit a buyer’s tastes.
