This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous family accommodation across two floors, including a large extended lounge/dining room and a master bedroom with an en suite. The property sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden laid to lawn and patio — good outdoor space for children and entertaining. Off-street parking and a short 1.1-mile walk to St Albans City Station add practical convenience for commuters and car owners.
The home is chain free and dates from the 1950s–60s, presenting clear potential to modernise. Many original mid-century features remain, and the large living space creates scope for a contemporary open-plan layout or incremental refurbishment. Local schools are highly regarded, making this a sensible choice for families wanting space and proximity to amenities.
Buyers should note material factors: the property has double glazing fitted before 2002 and cavity walls that are assumed to lack insulation, so energy upgrades could be needed to reduce bills. Council tax is above average for the area. Crime levels in the immediate locality are reported as high; purchasers may wish to check local security measures and insurance implications.
Overall this is a roomy, well-located family house with immediate usability and good long-term improvement upside. It will suit buyers seeking space and a short commute to central St Albans, and those prepared to invest in modernisation and energy-efficiency works.
