Summary - 72 Harpenden Road, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, AL3 AL3 6BJ
5 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Large rooms, great schools and excellent commuter access close to the city.
Over 2,350 sqft across three floors, five bedrooms
A substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house offering over 2,350 sqft across three floors, designed for large-family living and flexible use. The principal bedroom and a loft bedroom both have en suites, and the ground floor provides a spacious 29ft bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, family room, plus a 20ft kitchen/diner that opens to the private rear garden.
Practical features include a utility room, ground-floor shower room, off-street parking to the front and a generous plot for the area. The property sits 0.7 miles from St Albans city centre and 1.4 miles from the mainline station, with excellent local schools nearby — a strong commuter and family location.
The house dates from the 1930s and has modern double glazing installed post-2002 and gas central heating to radiators. The exterior and forecourt show signs of cosmetic wear and some overgrown paving; the driveway will need work. Walls are solid brick with assumed no built-in insulation, so buyers should allow for potential thermal upgrade costs if desired.
This home suits a growing family looking for generous internal space and location, or a buyer willing to invest in updating to maximise value. Flood risk is low, broadband speeds are fast and the area is very affluent, though council tax is relatively high. Viewings recommended to appreciate layout and scope for modernisation.
