Summary - 62 ALEXANDRA ROAD ST. ALBANS AL1 3AZ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled two-bedroom semi in St Albans — large rooms, basement, renovation potential..
Two double bedrooms and large four-piece family bathroom
A generously sized two-bedroom Victorian semi in the heart of St Albans, set on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the city centre and mainline station. The house offers immediate living space across three floors, including two double bedrooms and an unusually large four-piece family bathroom — practical for family life. A boarded and insulated loft and a fully sealed, tanked basement add useful storage or conversion potential.
The property is offered with a clear scope for improvement: it requires modernisation throughout, with solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and cosmetic wear in places. The courtyard-style garden is low-maintenance but small, and the setting is an urban one with above-average local crime statistics to note. Council tax is moderate and tenure is freehold.
For buyers seeking a city-centre family home or an investor after refurbishment potential, this house presents strong upside: good room sizes across 921 sq ft, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs, and proximity to highly rated schools and local amenities makes it attractive to families. The basement is already tanked, removing a common hazard and offering adaptable space. Renovation will allow adding contemporary fittings and insulation to improve comfort and running costs.
Be clear on the trade-offs: renovation works will be required to modernise heating, electrics and finishes; the building’s solid-wall construction means added expense if external or internal wall insulation is later chosen. This is a practical, characterful home for buyers ready to invest time and budget to create a contemporary family property in a prime central location.
