Set on a large, southwest-facing plot on Fishpool Street, this characterful four-bedroom detached house delivers exceptional lakeside views and generous outdoor space. Internally the home retains period features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces, giving rooms warmth and charm while providing a strong canvas for sympathetic modernisation.
Practical benefits include a detached double garage, private parking and freehold tenure. The property sits in a highly desirable St Albans location with excellent transport links, outstanding local primary schools and access to shops, parks and leisure facilities — appealing for families and professionals.
There is clear scope to extend and reconfigure the layout to create a larger open-plan kitchen/dining area or add further accommodation, subject to consents. Buyers should note the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and may require updating; cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the EPC is rated D.
Important practical points: council tax is in band G and local crime levels are reported as high, which may influence running costs and insurance. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantive detached home in one of St Albans’ finest streets with room to personalise and increase value.
