Chain-free three-bedroom family home with large garden and easy station access.
Chain free freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on St. Vincent Drive is a spacious, freehold family property being sold chain free. The house has been extended to provide a large lounge/dining room ideal for everyday family life and entertaining, plus a separate kitchen and convenient ground-floor cloakroom. The master bedroom includes an en suite and two further bedrooms share a first-floor family bathroom.
Outside, the property sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden laid to lawn and patio, and off-street parking to the front. It is a short 1.1-mile walk to St Albans City Station and is close to highly regarded primary and secondary schools, making it practical for commuting families and those seeking strong local schooling options.
The house dates from the 1950s–1960s and shows mid-century features and good room proportions, with potential to modernise throughout. Notable fabric items: double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls with no added insulation, so thermal performance could be improved. The property is connected to mains gas and has conventional boiler-and-radiator heating.
Important negatives to consider: the area records higher-than-average local crime levels and council tax is above average. Parts of the interior look dated and will likely require updating to meet modern standards. These factors are reflected in the need for some investment to improve energy efficiency and modern finishes, but also create clear scope for value-added renovation.
