A generously extended six-bedroom detached family home set on a substantial corner plot of around 0.2 acres in a quiet Hartwell Gardens cul-de-sac. The house offers flexible living across three reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining area, utility and cloakroom, plus three bathrooms (two en suite) — ideal for a growing or multi-generation family. The property is freehold and arranged over two floors with double garage and driveway parking.
Positioned within easy walking distance of excellent schools, the town centre, the Nickey Line and Harpenden station (fast trains to St Pancras c.26 minutes), this home balances suburban calm with excellent commuter links. The rear garden wraps around from back to side with a paved patio, mature trees and established shrub beds, providing generous outdoor space for family life and entertaining.
The house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and retains a modern-traditional feel; there is scope to personalise and update certain elements to contemporary taste. Notable practical points: glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls with partial insulation (assumed), mains gas boiler and radiators, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a roomy, well-located family home with strong schooling and transport credentials and clear potential for cosmetic improvement.
