Period charm near St Albans station with south-facing garden and loft potential.
Victorian mid-terrace with period details and double glazing
A charming Victorian mid-terrace in Fleetville, a short walk from St Albans city centre and mainline station. Period features such as fireplaces and sash-style frontage combine with modern updates including double glazing and recent kitchen fittings to create an attractive, low-maintenance family home. The south-facing rear garden is a standout for this central location, offering a sunny lawn and patio for relaxed outdoor space.
The layout is practical: front lounge, through dining room, kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a loft room with Velux windows. The loft provides flexible additional space but is not classified as a habitable room. There is clear potential to extend to the rear or convert the loft further, subject to planning permission, for buyers seeking to increase living space or value.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, connected to mains gas with boiler and radiators, double-glazed windows installed post-2002, and fast broadband/mobile signal. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (as built), so buyers should budget for insulation improvements if desired. The plot is modest and street-facing, typical of central St Albans terraces.
This home will suit first-time buyers or small families who want central convenience, good local schools, and a period property with scope to personalise. Investors seeking a central rental in a very affluent, low-crime area will also find strong appeal, though any major work or extensions will need planning consent.
