Set on a quiet conservation-side terrace in St Albans, this Victorian three-bedroom house combines period character with practical family living. High ceilings, a bay-fronted living room and original fireplaces give immediate charm, while the rear garden and well-proportioned dining space suit everyday family life and informal entertaining.
The ground floor flows from a character-filled lounge into a bright dining area and modern fitted kitchen, which includes an efficient infrared ceiling heat plate. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor alongside a generous bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. A sizable loft room adds flexible space for a bedroom, home office or play area but is not building-regulation compliant and should be treated as ancillary accommodation.
Externally the property offers a private, low-maintenance rear garden with patio and lawn plus a gated front path. The house sits within easy walking distance of the mainline station, city centre amenities and well-regarded local schools — a clear convenience for commuting families. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and the area is very affluent with low crime.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: the loft room lacks building-regulation approval and therefore cannot be assumed to count as formal living space without upgrades. The plot is small and there is a single family bathroom, which may influence households needing more facilities. Overall, the home is best for buyers who value period character, central convenience and who are comfortable planning modest upgrading where needed.
