Set back in a peaceful Harpenden cul-de-sac, 42 The Close is a detached, single-storey bungalow offering flexible living across one level. The house has three well-proportioned bedrooms, a bright dual-aspect living/dining room and a fitted kitchen that opens directly onto a generous wraparound garden with patio — ideal for outdoor meals and entertaining.
The property sits on a large plot with private driveway parking and an integral garage. Located 0.7 miles from Harpenden station, it combines quiet suburban living with straightforward commuter access. The bungalow is chain-free and presents clear scope to reconfigure or update to modern tastes, making it suitable for downsizers wanting a single-level home or buyers seeking renovation potential in an affluent area.
Practical points are straightforward: gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and solid brick construction typical of the 1930–1949 period. There is a single family bathroom plus an additional WC, and the overall footprint is about 1,186 sq ft, providing comfortable internal space throughout.
Buyers should note some items for attention: the property reflects mid-century styling and will benefit from modernization to maximise value and energy efficiency. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and council tax is described as expensive. These factors should be considered alongside the strong location and plot size when assessing investment or refurbishment plans.
