This well-proportioned five-bedroom semi-detached house offers flexible living across three floors, ideal for growing families who need space close to schools and the city. The ground floor includes a bay-fronted living room with a feature fireplace, a second reception room, and an extended kitchen/breakfast area with French doors onto a private rear garden.
Upstairs the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The converted loft provides two further bedrooms (one double, one single/study) and a large utility with eaves storage, adding practical space for family life or homework zones.
Practical points to note: the property is chain free and around one mile from St Albans City station, within popular school catchments. The house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) and double glazing of unknown age — there may be opportunities to improve thermal efficiency. Local crime levels are above average and council tax is high, which should be factored into ongoing costs.
Overall this is a characterful period home with modernised living spaces and genuine family appeal, particularly for buyers seeking convenient access to the city centre and strong local schools. Some energy-efficiency upgrades and routine maintenance may be needed to maximise long-term running costs and comfort.
