A substantial four-bedroom detached house set on a large, private plot in West Common, Harpenden. The layout spreads over two floors with generous reception rooms including a dual-aspect sitting room, separate dining room, study and additional family room — ideal for flexible family living and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room and en suite; three further double bedrooms share a family bathroom.
The rear garden faces southwest and opens onto unobstructed countryside, delivering privacy, mature planting and a large paved terrace. A carriage driveway provides ample parking and an attached double garage adds secure storage. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Owned and cared for by the same family since construction, the house is well maintained and retains character features such as an impressive stone fireplace and exposed brick detailing. There is clear scope to update and reconfigure parts of the interior or to develop, subject to consents — a practical opportunity for families seeking extra space or someone wanting to personalise a substantial home.
Important practical points: the house dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s and, while well looked-after, may benefit from modernisation in parts. The property is freehold, not at flood risk, and sits in a very low-crime, affluent area, but council tax is very expensive — factor this into ongoing running costs.
