This three-bedroom semi‑detached home on Sutton Road offers spacious, flexible family accommodation over three floors and a convenient location 0.8 miles from St Albans City station. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a bright conservatory, while a loft room on the second floor creates useful extra space for an office, playroom or guest use. Off‑street parking on the driveway and a decent plot add practical everyday convenience.
The house has genuine potential to add value: scope to extend further (subject to planning) and a large overall size for the area. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, and the property benefits from mains gas heating and double glazing. Local schools are within easy reach and the area is affluent with low crime and excellent transport and broadband links.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the exterior and porch need modernisation and upkeep, the property has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and there are reported indications of potential damp which should be inspected. There is also an easement (shared passage) on the title. A survey is recommended to confirm services, structural condition and insulation before purchase.
Overall, this is a practical family home with extension and renovation upside in a strong St Albans location — suitable for families seeking space and investors or buyers happy to undertake updating works to unlock further value.
