Summary - 23 PROSPECT LANE HARPENDEN AL5 2PL
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large five-bed family home with indoor pool and countryside views, close to Harpenden station.
Circa 4,734 sq ft of spacious accommodation
Set well back in a quiet West Common cul-de-sac, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers nearly 4,734 sq ft of accommodation on a generous 0.47-acre plot. The house is arranged over two floors with double-aspect living and dining rooms and a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family area that becomes the heart of family life. Large windows and a south-west facing garden deliver good natural light and pleasant views over open countryside.
A rare feature is the indoor pool complex and adjacent gym/pool room — a significant lifestyle asset for families or active owners. Practical spaces include a utility room, wine store, workshop and multiple garages accessed from a carriage driveway, providing extensive storage and parking. The location is strong: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and easy access to Harpenden town centre and the station.
Buyers should note this property was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and while well presented, mechanical and decorative updates may be required to align with modern standards. The indoor pool is a distinctive benefit but brings ongoing maintenance, heating and chemical costs. Council Tax Band H reflects high running costs compared with lower-band homes.
This home will suit a large or multigenerational family seeking space, country views and convenient commuter links, or a buyer looking to combine substantial living with lifestyle amenities. With thoughtful updating, the house offers strong long-term potential in an affluent, sought-after area.
