Set on a generous corner plot in a well‑served St Albans neighbourhood, this attractive 1930s semi‑detached house offers a ready-to-live-in family layout with scope to extend (subject to planning). The property is presented in excellent decorative order and retains period features such as stained glass and picture rails, while benefiting from a newly renovated interior and fast broadband/mobile connectivity.
The ground floor provides a bay‑front family room, separate dining room with fireplace, and a fitted kitchen with external side access. Upstairs are two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom, served by a bathroom with overhead shower and a separate WC — practical for family use but only one main bathroom. Outside there is a double‑length detached garage, generous driveway parking and lawns with mature planting.
Key strengths are the large corner plot with extension potential, close proximity to well‑rated local schools, and a roughly 20‑minute walk to St Albans City station for fast links into London. The house is freehold with gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Notable considerations: the property has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so improving thermal performance may be needed; there is only one bathroom plus a separate toilet; the area records above‑average crime; and any substantial extension will require planning permission. Overall, this period family home suits buyers seeking immediate move‑in condition with potential to create much more space and value over time.
