Set on a prestigious road within the St Albans Conservation Area, this architect‑designed mid‑terrace combines period charm with contemporary open-plan living. The remodel has created bright, well-proportioned spaces — a vaulted kitchen/dining room, a generous through living room with solid oak floors and a log burner, and a loft bedroom offering panoramic views. The southwest-facing landscaped garden and private gated rear access extend the living space and catch afternoon sun.
The house is arranged over multiple levels and includes a versatile basement with a cloakroom, utility and storage — useful for a playroom, home office or additional storage, and with separate front access. The property has been newly renovated throughout and benefits from modern double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the home provides four bedrooms but only one main bathroom, and the plot is small compared with detached suburban houses. The building’s solid brick construction (typical of its era) is understood to have no cavity insulation installed, which may affect future energy upgrades. Council tax in the area is high and should be factored into running costs.
This property will suit families or professionals who prioritise location, school catchments and transport links — St Albans City station is an easy walk for fast services to London. It also offers scope for future owner-led improvements (insulation, additional bathrooms) to increase comfort and value.
