Set on a large plot in The Ridgeway, this extended 1930s semi offers flexible family living across four bedrooms and a versatile loft conversion. The ground floor provides two reception rooms — one with a real log burner — plus a practical kitchen and modern family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite and the loft is currently used as a home office or occasional guest room.
Outside, the private 140ft rear garden is a major draw for families who value outdoor space, with a garage and driveway parking for two vehicles. The property sits within walking distance of Sandringham School and several highly rated primaries and secondaries, making the location particularly well suited to school-age families.
Practical considerations: the house is solid brick and likely lacks wall insulation, double glazing was installed before 2002, and council tax is high. These are typical of mid‑20th century homes and present clear opportunities for energy-efficiency upgrades. Overall, the home combines character and space with straightforward renovation potential to improve comfort and reduce running costs.
This is a long-term family home in a very affluent part of St Albans with excellent local amenities and transport links. It will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful property with scope to personalise and enhance energy performance over time.
