Set on the edge of Harpenden Common, this period end-terrace combines classic character with practical family living across three floors. The living room benefits from sash windows, a decorative fireplace and pleasant green views, while the southerly garden brings light and privacy to the rear. A rear garage and parking on Cravells Road add rare convenience for the area.
At about 1,023 sq ft the house is roomy but straightforward: three bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan ground floor layout. There is clear scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning) if you need more living space or a modern open kitchen. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the property is offered chain free for a quicker move.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick period build likely lacking cavity wall insulation and will benefit from targeted modernisation to improve energy efficiency and layout. The property has a single family bathroom and an attic bedroom with eaves storage, which reflects the house’s character but may not suit everyone without alteration.
Positioned within easy walking distance of the station, Harpenden and Southdown amenities and several highly rated schools, this home will suit families prioritising location, outside space and scope to add value. The low local crime rate, fast broadband and very affluent neighbourhood add practical appeal alongside the aesthetic advantages of Common-facing views.
