About
Nestled just outside the vibrant heart of St Albans, this charming two-bedroom chalet bungalow offers a perfect blend of space, versatility, and convenience.
Positioned in a sought-after residential area, the property welcomes you with a generous living room with large window to the front.
To the front, a bright and adaptable room with a beautiful bay window serves comfortably as either a spacious bedroom or additional reception room, bathed in natural light throughout the day.
To the rear, a further well-proportioned double bedroom enjoys views over the garden, accompanied by a separate kitchen featuring ample storage options and various appliances, with direct access to the garden.
A spacious shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, a converted loft provides a sizable additional bedroom with storage in the eaves and elevated garden views.
Externally, the property boasts off-road parking for multiple vehicles via a hardstanding driveway, while the low-maintenance rear garden and detached garage provide both leisure and storage options.
Being sold with no onward chain. Batchwood Drive is a popular location on the north-west side of St Albans and is situated close to some well regarded schools.
St Albans City centre is within walking distance, as is St Michaels Village and Verulamium Park, and Batchwood Golf Club and Leisure Centre are nearby.
