Set within a sought-after St Albans neighbourhood and a short walk from Beaumont School, this four-bedroom detached house combines period charm with recent contemporary upgrades. The home offers bright, flexible living across three floors — a vaulted open-plan living and dining area with exposed beams and skylight, a modern kitchen/breakfast room, and a spacious second-floor principal bedroom with ensuite. The garden and patio create a private outdoor space for children and year-round entertaining.
Practical family features include off-street parking for up to three cars, a garage with partial conversion that could serve as storage or a home office, and easy access to local parks, colleges and commuter links into central London. The property’s 1,724 sq ft layout provides clear scope for family living, homework zones and separate reception spaces.
Notable considerations are factual and important for long-term budgeting: the house was built circa 1930–1949 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and double glazing install dates are unknown. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These points mean buyers should factor potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements into their plans.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-located family home that blends character and contemporary living. It will suit buyers seeking excellent local schools, outdoor space and commuter convenience, while those planning energy upgrades or further refurbishment have strong scope to add value.
