A charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage set directly opposite Harpenden Common, offering attractive period features and clear green views. The house is chain free, freehold and sits within easy walking distance of the town centre, mainline station and highly rated local schools, making it well placed for a family seeking character and convenience.
The accommodation totals approximately 747 sq ft across two storeys and includes two reception rooms, two bathrooms, and a traditional kitchen. The rear garden extends over 40ft and benefits from off-street parking accessed via Heath Close. There is good natural light and original detail such as fireplaces and brickwork that will appeal to buyers who value character.
The property needs renovation and presents clear potential for improvement and reconfiguration, which should be reflected in any offer. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the glazing-install dates are unknown, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and general modernisation works. The layout is compact, so this house suits a small family or couple rather than someone seeking large, open-plan living.
Practical points: council tax band D, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the local crime level is recorded as very high; prospective buyers should make their own enquiries about neighbourhood safety and security measures before committing.
