A substantial Victorian detached house on Hill Street offering nearly 2,850 sqft of adaptable living space. The house combines period character — high ceilings, sash windows with shutters, fireplaces and historic plasterwork — with contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms. The layout suits families who need reception space and home-working areas: two front reception rooms, open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining/family area and useful utility and boot rooms.
Outside, a walled front garden, York stone terrace and a large lawned rear garden provide private outdoor space. A gated driveway gives off-street parking and leads to a versatile two-storey detached garden building with basement and ground-floor shower room — originally configured for cinema/office/entertainment and offering multiple uses subject to any necessary permissions or alteration works.
Practical points: the house is locally listed within the St Albans Conservation Area, which preserves historic character but will affect alterations; it has solid brick walls with internal insulation and modern double glazing. Council Tax Band G is relatively expensive. Transport links are strong — St Albans is c.20 minutes to St Pancras by train — and the area is noted for high-performing local schools and low crime rates, making the home well suited to families and professionals.
This property will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home close to the city centre, or those who value flexible outbuilding space for work or leisure. Buyers should be aware of the conservation-area listing and the potential maintenance considerations typical of a pre-1900 solid-wall property.
