Set in a peaceful cul-de-sac on the edge of Harpenden’s Avenues, this five-bedroom detached home sits on a generous plot with a private, sunny rear garden and large entertaining patio. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and dressing area, while most bedrooms have built-in wardrobes—well suited to a growing family.
Ground floor living is flexible with four reception rooms including a rear sitting room with sliding patio doors, a dining room with bifold doors, a study and a family room. The large fitted kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility provide practical everyday space; the double garage and driveway offer plentiful parking.
Constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s, the house is presented in good order but carries a few typical age-related features: double glazing installed before 2002, partial cavity wall insulation and likely cosmetic or systems updates over time. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and should be factored into running costs.
Location is a primary strength — close to Rothamsted Park, countryside walks and an excellent selection of schools (including Roundwood Park School). The town centre and mainline station are within easy reach, combining convenient commuting with a quiet, suburban setting.
