Large five-bed detached home with landscaped west-facing garden and excellent transport links.
Five double bedrooms with dressing room and en‑suite to principal bedroom
This substantial five-bedroom detached house on Beaumont Avenue offers generous family living across circa 2,407 sq ft on a large plot in a very affluent St Albans neighbourhood. Ground floor accommodation includes a double-aspect sitting room with fireplace and bi-fold doors to the terrace, a separate family room, and a spacious kitchen/diner with two sets of double doors opening to the west-facing landscaped garden — ideal for entertaining and outdoor living.
Upstairs are five double bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite, plus a family bathroom. Practical additions include a laundry room, guest WC, garage and carriage driveway providing ample parking. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — strong conveniences for commuter families.
Notable considerations: the house was built in the 1980s and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so some elements may be approaching renewal; there are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms which could be inconvenient for larger families; council tax is expensive. Overall the home presents as well maintained with clear potential for modernising to personal taste or improving energy performance.
Location is a key draw: St Albans’ historic centre, outstanding and good-rated schools nearby, fast trains to London (under 20 minutes), and easy access to the M25/M1 make this a compelling choice for families seeking space, garden and excellent transport links.
