Generous family home on a large private plot in sought-after village setting.
Five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two ensuites
Set on a very large plot in the quiet village setting of Wheathampstead, this well-presented five-bedroom detached house balances generous family living with countryside calm. The ground floor centres on a large contemporary kitchen/diner with island, a spacious living room flooded with natural light and direct access to the playroom — ideal for family life and entertaining. A substantial rear garden, patio and a separate garden room extend the living space outdoors.
Four double bedrooms sit on the first floor, including a principal bedroom with ensuite and Juliette balcony overlooking the garden. A further double bedroom with ensuite occupies the second floor, providing a private guest or home-office suite. Three bathrooms in total help keep busy households running smoothly.
Practical details match the comfort: double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, filled cavity walls and a single garage with a private driveway. The property is freehold, has no flooding risk and sits in a very low-crime, very affluent area with good local schools and easy access to Harpenden and St Albans.
A few points to note: the home dates from the 1950s–60s which may mean later cosmetic or systems updating over time; broadband and mobile signal are average; council tax is relatively high. Overall this is a roomy, well-appointed family home for buyers seeking village life with excellent regional links and ample outdoor space.
