This recently renovated Victorian semi offers spacious family living across three floors, preserving period character while introducing contemporary comforts. High ceilings, bay windows and restored entrance detailing combine with a large rear kitchen extension, roof lantern and integrated appliances to create a bright, sociable heart to the house.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms (principal with ensuite), two reception rooms including a sitting room with wood-burning stove, and a separate utility. Underfloor heating, a modern boiler and double glazing installed after 2002 improve comfort and running costs. The rear garden faces east with a terrace, enclosed lawn, shed and a children’s play area — an easy-to-manage outside space for family life.
Set 0.4 miles from Harpenden town centre, the location benefits from excellent schools, supermarkets and leisure facilities, plus strong transport links. The house is freehold and sits in a very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — attractive for families seeking both period charm and modern convenience.
Notable considerations: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation (typical of the era), and parking is on-street with a Zone 1 permit required. While newly refurbished internally, further extension or loft conversion could add value but would need local consents. Crime is average for the area; no flood risk is recorded.
