This charming Victorian mid-terrace cottage combines period character with contemporary living across two floors. The open-plan reception with a wood-burning stove and large lantern rooflight creates a bright, sociable ground floor, while two first-floor bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom provide practical sleeping accommodation. A generous loft offers useful storage; overall footprint is compact at about 603 sq ft.
Outside is a major selling point: a landscaped, west-facing rear garden of around 75ft with patio, planted borders and a detached garden office. There are two off-street parking spaces accessed via a rear gate, a rare convenience for this location. The house is freehold and in good decorative order, ready for occupancy by a small family, professional couple or first-time buyer.
Buyers should note a few practical downsides. The property is small internally and room sizes are modest, so it best suits those prioritising outdoor space over interior square footage. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the main heating is an electric boiler and radiators which may mean higher running costs than modern gas systems. Planning permission has been granted to develop the land behind the property, which may change views and privacy; consider this before purchasing.
In short, the cottage offers character, a large private garden, parking and good local amenities in an affluent area close to St Albans. It’s ideal for buyers seeking outdoor space and village-style living with straightforward accommodation, but not for those requiring generous internal floor area or the most energy-efficient heating.
