This three-bedroom end-of-terrace in a quiet Garden Close cul-de-sac offers straightforward family living in St Albans. The house provides a large living room, open-plan kitchen/breakfast area and a private south-facing garden — spaces that suit everyday family life and informal entertaining. A garage with parking is accessed from the rear, a useful practical plus in a town location.
The layout is bright and practical: ground-floor WC, built-in storage and an airy living room with a generous window. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the accommodation totals about 987 sq ft, suitable for growing families seeking good local schools and quick commuter links. The property is freehold, in a very low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks. The plot is described as small and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed despite double glazing and a mains-gas boiler. Council tax is above average. The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so there may be scope or need for modernisation in parts.
Overall this is a well-located, family-friendly home that delivers immediate useability and scope to add value through targeted energy and cosmetic upgrades. It will appeal to families who prioritise schools, transport and a quiet cul-de-sac position, and to buyers seeking a workable home with straightforward improvement potential.
