Set on Havercroft Close in St Albans, this detached four-bedroom family home combines practical living space with strong local amenities. The layout includes a large living/dining room, a good-size kitchen/breakfast room and two bathrooms across multiple levels, giving comfortable room for family life and homework zones.
Practical features include a double garage, ample driveway parking and low-maintenance front and rear gardens, plus double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating. The property is chain free and freehold, offering a straightforward move for buyers looking to relocate quickly.
Location is a key benefit: the house is within walking distance of St Columba’s and good state primaries and secondaries, the city centre and the train station, making commutes and school runs easy.

Important considerations: the area records higher-than-average local crime and the council tax banding is described as quite expensive. The house dates from the 1983–1990 period, so buyers should allow for typical updating and maintenance rather than a full modern refurbishment.
