A characterful ground-floor apartment occupying part of a handsome Tudor‑style semi in leafy Harpenden. The flat has generous principal rooms — a 21ft dual-aspect drawing room and a large front bedroom with a south-facing bay — alongside a separate dining room, fitted kitchen and a private rear garden ideal for family outdoor use.
Practical benefits include a single garage, in‑out gravel driveway with visitor parking, and a useful cellar for storage or potential conversion (subject to consents). Period features such as painted timber beams, original fireplaces and leaded windows sit alongside contemporary kitchen fittings and integrated appliances, giving comfortable move‑in presentation.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold, council tax is above average, and the building has traditional solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002, and upgrading thermal insulation and glazing could be considered to improve efficiency. There is no flooding risk and local crime levels are very low.
Positioned under half a mile from Harpenden town centre, this home is well placed for shops, cafés, commuter connections and a strong selection of primary and secondary schools, making it well suited to families seeking generous period accommodation close to local amenities.
