About
This exceptional five-bedroom semi-detached family home, dating from the 1930s, has been skilfully extended and comprehensively renovated to an outstanding standard throughout.
Offering approximately 1,926 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation over three floors, the property combines the character and proportions of a traditional family home with the style, quality and practicality expected of modern living.
The property is turnkey throughout, with a superb attention to detail evident from the moment you enter.
The ground floor is particularly impressive, centred around a magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining and family space, complemented by beautiful herringbone flooring and an abundance of natural light.
The bespoke kitchen has been designed with both entertaining and everyday family life in mind, featuring an excellent range of cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and a striking central island with breakfast bar.
The generous dining area flows seamlessly into the family room, creating a wonderful sociable space, while a separate utility room provides useful additional storage and practical facilities..
A separate, well-proportioned front-aspect living room provides a more intimate space away from the main living area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
The entrance hall also provides access to the first-floor accommodation and the garage.
Arranged over the first and second floors are five well-proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for a growing family.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms together with beautifully finished and newly fitted family bathroom, whilst the entire second floor is dedicated to an impressive principal bedroom suite, incorporating a generous bedroom, separate dressing room and stylish ensuite show room, creating a private and luxurious retreat.
Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking to the front via a driveway, complete with an EV charging point, together with the useful garage.
To the rear, a newly installed patio provides an excellent area for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to a wonderful lawned garden.
The south-facing garden is a particularly special feature of the property, being completely private and enclosed by mature trees, established planting and well-stocked shrub borders, creating a peaceful and secluded setting rarely found so close to the town centre.
Located within walking distance of the centre of the town, close to the excellent Crabtree, High Beeches and the Grove jmi School, Harpenden's Victorian town centre and its train link (direct to St Pancras International in under 30 minutes).
The property is also within a short stroll of the glorious open spaces of Harpenden Common and with the exceptional St Georges, Sir John Lawes and Katherine Warington Secondary Schools within walking distance.
