A characterful three-bedroom end-of-terrace arranged over three floors, this home offers comfortable family living with notable outdoor space. The property extends to c.1,150 sq ft and sits on a superb, mature 160ft private garden with two useful sheds – rare for an in-town location and ideal for children, gardening or a workshop.
Accommodation includes a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, sitting and dining rooms, three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house retains period features and sits within easy walking distance of Harpenden town centre and station, with outstanding and good local schools nearby — a genuine selling point for families.
There is scope to extend subject to planning permission, offering clear potential to increase living space or reconfigure layouts. Practical points to note: the property is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation), so buyers should allow for energy-efficiency upgrades; Council Tax Band E is above average; and the multi-storey layout may not suit limited mobility.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful family home with a huge garden and extension potential. It will suit buyers seeking space, good schools and countryside access close to town, prepared to invest selectively in insulation or modernisation to maximise comfort and value.
