Externally the property scores strongly: a south-west facing garden with mature borders, patio and a gazebo that seats ten provides an excellent outdoor entertaining area. Off-street parking, gated side access and an EV charger add everyday convenience while the freehold tenure and substantial 3,874 sq ft internal area give long-term flexibility.
Location will appeal to commuters and families. The house is in the heart of St Albans city centre, an easy walk to St Peter’s Street, the mainline station (fast services to London St Pancras) and a selection of highly-rated schools. Local amenities and transport links are strong, making this a practical base for city and country access.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property is a solid-brick period build with assumed no cavity insulation, so some thermal upgrades may be required to improve energy efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Crime in the immediate area is reported as high; prospective buyers should investigate local security and insurance implications. Broadband speeds are average. Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home with excellent location and good scope for modernisation where desired.
