Set on about 1.1 acres on the eastern edge of St Albans, Oak House is a substantial five‑bedroom Tudor‑Revival family home combining period character with recent high‑spec improvements. The house has been extensively renovated: new kitchen with bespoke cabinetry and AGA, new boiler, upgraded flooring, a water filtration system, and a newly built pool house that doubles as a garden office.
Living space is generous and flexible with multiple reception rooms, a dedicated playroom, and large circulation areas across roughly 5,200 sq ft. The mature, well‑enclosed gardens include level lawns, a large terrace, outdoor swimming pool with adjoining pool house, greenhouse, vegetable beds, and a long gated carriage driveway leading to a detached triple garage with two stores — ideal for families, entertaining and hobbies.
The location suits commuters who want countryside tranquillity: mainline services to central London are within a few miles, the A1(M) and M25 are accessible, and Heartwood Forest and local bridleways are on the doorstep. Local schools include several highly rated secondaries and a nearby primary, making the house practical for growing families.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: the house is heated by an oil‑fired boiler (not a community supply), glazing has been upgraded but the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is described as very expensive. These factors are worth weighing against the property’s scale, privacy and recent renovation.
