Summary - 3 How Field AL5 3AU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period home near top schools and town amenities.
Chain free detached family house, about 2,041 sq ft
Spacious and well-proportioned, this detached family home offers roughly 2,041 sq ft across two floors, generous reception rooms and a large integral garage with private driveway. A conservatory and broad windows bring light into the living spaces, while four large bedrooms and two bathrooms suit a growing family. The location is a major strength: quiet cul-de-sac setting, easy walking distance to the town centre and station, close to the Nickey Line and several highly rated schools.
The property was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and retains period character throughout, with room sizes that allow straightforward reconfiguration or extension subject to planning. The house is presented as chain free and freehold, making for a smoother purchase for buyers seeking to move quickly or families planning refurbishment to their taste.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the wall construction is cavity brick with assumed no insulation, and parts of the interior (including a 1980s-style kitchen) will benefit from updating. Council Tax sits in a high Band G, adding to running costs. While no flooding risk is recorded and crime levels are very low, refurbishment or insulation upgrades will be sensible priorities to improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
Overall, this home suits families wanting substantial living space in a sought-after Harpenden location, and also presents clear scope for value-add refurbishment or modest development, subject to necessary consents.
