This 1970s/80s detached family home sits in a quiet residential pocket of St Albans, close to several outstanding and highly regarded schools. The house offers comfortable, well-proportioned living across two storeys, with a long front-to-back sitting/dining room and a kitchen that opens directly to a private rear garden — a practical layout for family life.
Externally there’s a single attached garage and a wide driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The garage presents genuine scope to convert or build over, subject to planning (STPP), creating an opportunity to add value and extra living space. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can simplify and speed up a move.
At about 1,091 sq ft the accommodation is modest for a four-bedroom home and includes a single family bathroom, which is something families should factor into planning. The house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed partial cavity insulation—practical but not new, so some updating, improvement or energy-efficiency work may be desirable to suit modern standards.
Overall this detached house will appeal to growing families who prioritise school catchments, outdoor space and parking, and to buyers looking for a property with clear scope to extend or modernise to increase value and comfort.
