Summary - 27 RIDGMONT ROAD ST ALBANS AL1 3AG
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Central family home with garden, garage and quick city station access.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, generous living space
A spacious five-bedroom detached villa a short walk from St Albans City station, this property combines generous family living with attractive period detail. The ground floor opens into two reception rooms and a large open-plan kitchen/family room with rooflights and bifold doors that bring abundant light and frame the west-facing garden — ideal for evening sun and family gatherings. The house retains many original features such as sash bay windows, fireplaces and stained glass, while recent renovations have updated the kitchen, bathrooms and services.
Sleeping accommodation spans three floors, with a principal bedroom on the first floor, two further doubles and two attic bedrooms on the top floor with extensive eaves storage. There are two family bathrooms (each with a claw-foot bath and separate shower) which serve five bedrooms — convenient but potentially tight for larger families. Outside, a patio and long lawn with hedged borders lead to a detached garage and rear hardstanding parking.
Practical points to note: the property is offered freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent transport and fast broadband. The EPC rating is D and council tax is described as quite expensive. Also note the listing records the construction period as 1983–1990 despite its Victorian/Edwardian styling — prospective buyers should confirm exact construction and structural details where relevant.
This house will suit a family seeking central St Albans living with character and space, plus the convenience of nearby schools and transport. It offers immediate comfort after refurbishment with scope to personalise further, though buyers should factor in the EPC rating and running costs when budgeting.
