Summary - 24 WATFORD ROAD ST ALBANS AL1 2AJ
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Five double bedrooms plus principal suite with dual dressing rooms
This distinguished five-bedroom detached house in St Albans marries early 20th-century character with contemporary, high-spec finishes. Praised by the St Albans Civic Society, the home features restored original details, a James Steel staircase and bespoke Neatsmith joinery throughout. The Audus German kitchen, Quooker tap and wine fridge sit within a 600+ sq ft open-plan hub that opens via bi-fold doors to an extensive west-facing garden and covered veranda.
Designed for family life, the layout includes flexible reception rooms (living room, art-deco inspired games room), a practical boot room, and a separate gym/garden room with storage and WC. The principal suite occupies the top floor with dual dressing rooms, a spa-like bathroom and a Juliet balcony overlooking St Stephen’s Park; additional bedrooms offer walk-in wardrobes and cleverly placed ensuites.
Practical conveniences include driveway parking, an EV charging point, alarm system with CCTV, underfloor heating and high-quality Karndean/Amtico floors. The plot is large and landscaped with designated family zones including a basketball area and gated access to St Stephen’s Park, offering a safe outdoor extension for children.
Notable considerations: the house dates from the 1920s and has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation), so prospective buyers should allow for long-term energy-efficiency works if desired. Council Tax is high (Band G), and maintenance of a large, period property and extensive garden should be factored into costs. Overall, this is a turnkey, family-centric home with strong commuter links and excellent local schools.
