Summary - 74 HIGH STREET MARKYATE ST ALBANS AL3 8LF
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
Character-filled family home on Markyate High Street with courtyard and garage.
Grade II listed mid-terrace with period features throughout
A charming Grade II listed mid-terrace in the heart of Markyate, presented with period detail and flexible living spread across three floors. The house offers a generous lounge opening to a modern kitchen/breakfast room and a pretty decked courtyard — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor entertaining. The principal suite includes a dressing area and ensuite; two more double bedrooms occupy the top floor and a further reception/bedroom completes the layout.
This is a compact family home: the plot and overall footprint are small, but cleverly arranged for everyday living. Period features such as sash windows, original fireplaces and exposed brick create character while modern touches in the kitchen and bathrooms keep the house comfortable. The property benefits from a garage and proximity to village amenities, local schools and good transport links.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status. Listed designation will restrict structural changes and may complicate extensions, replacement of original features, or energy-efficiency upgrades. The walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and windows are secondary glazed, which may limit thermal performance and increase running costs compared with modern construction.
Overall this is best suited to families or buyers seeking a period home in a small-town setting who value character and location over a large garden or expansive internal floor area. For anyone wanting to alter or extend extensively, factor in listed-buildings consent, potential specialist contractors and conservation-led costs.
