Characterful two-bedroom cottage with garden, close to city centre and station.
Chain free Victorian mid-terrace in St Albans conservation area
Set on a peaceful, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the St Albans conservation area, 13 Oster Street is a handsome Victorian mid-terrace with clear period character. The house offers two reception rooms with an original fireplace, a kitchen overlooking a private rear garden and a partially converted loft currently used as a study and storage.
At about 895 sq ft across multiple storeys, the layout suits a small family, professional couple or buyer seeking a centrally located home with scope to personalise. It is chain free and sits around 1 mile from St Albans City station and 0.4 miles from the city centre, making daily commuting and town amenities easily accessible.
Practical points to note: the property is a solid-brick period build (c.1900–1929) and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; buyers should budget for modernisation and potential energy-efficiency improvements. The house has one family bathroom and a small rear plot, so while charming and well-situated, it will suit those prioritising location and character over extensive outdoor space.
Overall this is an appealing, characterful cottage for buyers wanting a central St Albans base with immediate scope to update and tailor the interior to contemporary standards.
