Chain-free Victorian family home with south-facing garden and strong renovation potential.
Chain free three-bedroom detached period house
This detached three-bedroom house on King Edward Street is a rare, chain-free opportunity in a sought-after Hemel Hempstead neighbourhood. The property retains period character—bay window, high ceilings and a gabled roof—and sits on a mature south-facing garden that offers a private outdoor space for family life and gardening.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: two separate reception rooms, a good-sized kitchen and one family bathroom across approximately 795 sq ft. The location is convenient for families: Two Waters Primary School is about 0.3 miles away and Apsley train station (links to London Euston) is approximately 0.6 miles.
The house requires full modernisation. Services and finishes should be checked and updating is likely needed (kitchen, bathroom, heating fabric and electrics). The solid brick construction appears to have no built-in insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency improvements will be advisable. Council tax is above average and local crime levels are reported as high—factors to consider for family buyers and insurers.
For buyers looking to add value, the property offers scope: sympathetic refurbishment could restore period features while improving layout, comfort and efficiency. Early viewing is recommended for anyone seeking a character home to renovate in a convenient, established area.
