About
Located within a short walk of the highly regarded Beaumont Secondary and Oakwood Primary Schools, this semi-detached home is set back from the road with a driveway providing off street parking.
The front door opens into a bright entrance hall which gives access to a separate living room to the front of the property, and it leads through to a lovely open plan extended kitchen/dining space at the rear.
The kitchen is well planned with excellent storage provision, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, and the dining area has plenty of natural light through the large window overlooking the garden and rooflights above.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, the largest of which both have fitted storage, and there is also a family bathroom with a white suite.
Stairs lead up to the second floor, where there is a useful loft room.
The rear garden is a great size, and has a large lawn as well as a paved seating area, with plenty of mature trees and shrubs providing privacy.
The property has a detached garage accessed by a shared driveway which could be ideal as a workshop or home office, with storage to the front.
Oakwood Drive is located to the west side of St Albans in an area which is particularly popular for its proximity to some of St Albans most highly regarded schools.
It is within easy reach of the city centre and its excellent range of amenities, and the mainline railway station, with fast links into central London, is less than a mile and a half away.
