Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac moments from St Albans city centre, this Victorian mid-terrace cottage marries period character with practical living. The ground floor has two reception rooms, both with fireplaces, plus a stylish kitchen and a well-appointed bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefits from open rear views and fitted wardrobes. A private rear garden with gated access provides useful outdoor space for children or entertaining.
The house is offered chain free and sits within easy walking distance of the mainline station and a wide choice of highly regarded schools, making it well suited to families and commuters. At about 704 sq ft overall, the layout gives good separation between living and sleeping areas and retains many original features such as sash windows and fireplaces.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the property is a solid-brick Victorian build with no assumed cavity wall insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be required. The glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. The plot is modest in size and there is a single bathroom, which may influence families needing extra facilities.
Overall this freehold cottage presents a rare central St Albans opportunity: comfortable as-is for immediate occupation, or offering straightforward scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and value.
