Summary - 36 ALMA ROAD ST ALBANS AL1 3BL
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Period character with a modern kitchen and quick trains to London.
Three double bedrooms including main with ensuite and fitted wardrobes
Set in a sought-after St Albans location, this c.1870 Victorian semi delivers period character alongside practical family space. Three double bedrooms, a cosy bay-front living room with wood-burning stove, and a modern kitchen-dining area with bifold doors make everyday living and entertaining easy. The property sits less than half a mile from the city centre and a short walk to the mainline station with direct trains to London St Pancras, ideal for commuters and family life.
A generous lower-ground basement provides flexible space for a home office, studio or additional bedroom. The kitchen-dining room is the heart of the house, featuring a central island, skylight and wide bifold doors that open onto a sun-soaked, landscaped rear garden with patio, lawn, gated side access and the rare benefit of off-street parking in a central location. Built-in wardrobes and an ensuite to the main bedroom add everyday convenience.
Important practical notes: the property has an EPC rating of E and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, so energy upgrades may be needed to improve efficiency. Council tax is noted as expensive. The plot is relatively small and the area has a higher-than-average recorded crime level, which should be considered when assessing security and long-term suitability. Overall, this is a well-positioned period family home with strong commuter links and good scope for targeted improvement.
