A substantial five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house in the heart of St Albans, set on a large south-facing garden plot. The property retains period character — high ceilings, large rooms and two-storey bay windows — and offers plenty of scope to modernise and reconfigure to suit a growing family. Practical features include direct garden access from the kitchen-dining area and extensive eaves storage on the top floor.
The layout provides two bright reception rooms, a kitchen-dining space, four bedrooms on the first floor, a family bathroom and a generous fifth bedroom plus study area on the top floor. At about 1,927 sq ft overall, the house will suit buyers wanting space, proximity to top local schools, and convenient commuter links into London St Pancras.
Material renovation is required: the property is presented with dated fittings and will need updating throughout. There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, and any extension or major alterations would need a planning application. On-street parking is by residents’ permit only, and council tax is high — factor these running costs and permissions into your plans.
For families seeking long-term potential in a very desirable address, this house offers a rare large garden and generous room sizes to create a comfortable, modern family home once renovated.
