This spacious three-bedroom end-of-terrace on St Johns Road offers significant scope for value enhancement and modern family living close to Watford Junction. Arranged over four floors (including basement) the house retains period character — bay windows, high ceilings and original mouldings — but requires comprehensive modernisation throughout. Offered chain free, it’s well placed for commuters with the station about 0.3 miles away.
Ground floor accommodation includes an inviting bay-front living room, a second reception/family room and a large kitchen/dining room with doors to a low-maintenance paved rear garden. A basement room provides flexible space for a home office, utility or playroom, while a detached garage at the rear offers secure parking or storage. Upper floors comprise two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, with a large third bedroom in the converted loft.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation, has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. There is a single bathroom, a small-to-medium rear garden and above-average council tax (Band E). Local crime levels are recorded as very high — buyers should factor security and improvement costs into any purchase plan.
For buyers prepared to invest in updating, the house presents an excellent opportunity to create a bespoke family home in a central Watford location with fast links to London, strong local schools and good amenities nearby. The corner plot and generous internal proportions give clear scope for reconfiguration and adding contemporary comforts while retaining period charm.
