Summary - 97 Fishpool Street AL3 4RU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family house with garage and generous garden in a prime location.
Views over Verulamium Park and walks on the doorstep
A rare central St Albans home backing onto Verulamium Park, this detached four-bedroom house offers family living with exceptional convenience. At about 1,799 sq ft it provides three reception rooms, a separate study, and a kitchen with adjoining utility — flexible space for everyday life and home working. The plot includes a private walled garden, driveway and a double garage for secure parking and storage.
The house retains period character — an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and traditional brick elevations — while many internal areas will benefit from updating. The property is freehold and was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s; cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed), and the home has an EPC rating of D, so buyers should allow for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic modernisation.
Location is a key asset: popular local schools, easy walking access to Verulamium Park and St Michael’s village, plus city-centre amenities and St Albans City Station (around a mile) with fast London links. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — important for commuters and families.
Important practical notes: council tax is described as quite expensive and the local area records higher crime levels than average; these are factual considerations for budgeting and security. Early inspection is recommended to assess potential refurbishment costs and the opportunity to enhance energy performance and interior finishes.
