Three bedrooms in a traditional semi-detached layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Harpenden offers practical family living with genuine scope to improve. The property sits on a decent plot with a south-west facing rear garden of around 60–70ft and hardstanding parking for three cars — rare for the area. Local schools are excellent, and the town centre and mainline station are about a mile away, making daily life and commuting straightforward.
Interior space is compact (approximately 700 sq ft) and arranged over two floors with a living room, through dining area, kitchen with utility, and a part-converted garage currently used as a salon. The garage space would work well as a home office, playroom or family room; further extension to the side or rear is possible subject to planning permission. Heating is gas-fired radiators and the house has double glazing (install date unknown).
Important drawbacks are factual: the overall internal size is small for a three-bedroom family home and there is just one shower room. The garage has been partially converted, so restoring or reconfiguring that space would be needed for other uses. Council tax is above average. Any buyer wanting to extend must obtain planning permission — no applications have been made or granted.
For a family seeking school catchment, off-street parking and a private garden with extension potential, this home represents a practical purchase with scope to personalise. Buyers wanting larger rooms or immediate additional bathrooms should factor in renovation or extension costs.
