Substantial five‑bed period house on a very large private plot with pool and outbuildings (stpp)..
5 bedrooms and multiple reception rooms across approx. 2,568 sq ft
Very large, private plot with mature landscaping and outdoor swimming pool
Double garage, parking and substantial detached outbuildings (redevelopment potential stpp)
Solid brick, period construction with character features throughout
Oil-fired boiler and radiators; main fuel is oil, not on a community supply
Walls likely uninsulated; some renovation and modernisation expected
Council tax described as very expensive — higher ongoing costs
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband in a rural setting
Set within very large, secluded grounds in Sandridgebury Lane, this substantial period detached house blends traditional character with flexible living space. The five bedrooms and multiple reception rooms suit a growing family, while mature gardens and sweeping lawns create a private, countryside feel minutes from St Albans.
Outside, an outdoor swimming pool, double garage, parking and sizable outbuildings add practical value and lifestyle appeal. The outbuildings offer clear redevelopment potential subject to planning permission (stpp), presenting scope for an annex, home office, or letting units for additional income.
The house retains many period features and solid-brick construction, but it also shows sign of its age: the property likely lacks wall insulation, runs on oil-fired central heating, and will need updating to modern standards in places. Council tax is very expensive — factor this into running costs.
This home will suit families seeking space, schools nearby, and rural privacy with excellent broadband and mobile signal. Buyers looking for a ready-to-move-in turnkey will need to allow budget for refurbishment; those wanting renovation or redevelopment will find significant potential on the plot.
