Set on desirable Bloomfield Road in Harpenden, this four-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous family space across approximately 1,716 sq ft. The ground floor centres on an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors that open to a south-east facing garden — ideal for all-year entertaining. A separate living room with a feature fireplace, utility room and cloakroom keep daily life well organised.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms and a single family bathroom; bedrooms are well-proportioned and adaptable for home working or nursery use. The property benefits from a driveway, attached garage and a large rear plot providing scope for outside play or landscaping. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place for comfort and efficiency.
Practical considerations are straightforward and transparent: there is only one family bathroom, and historic planning permission for a substantial extension and loft conversion has lapsed (application 5/2018/1859) and would need re-submission if you wish to build. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers wanting higher thermal performance should budget for upgrades. Council tax is noted as expensive.
This freehold property sits within easy reach of Harpenden town centre, excellent local schools and the mainline station with fast London connections — a strong commuter and family location. For buyers seeking additional space, the plot and prior planning history present clear potential, subject to securing fresh permissions.
