The hallway opens into a large lounge and dining room. The lounge looks over the front of the road and at the rear, patio doors with an obscured film slide open onto the patio and garden.
Off the hallway you'll find a newly fitted Worcester boiler and a modern kitchen with marble-effect worktops, sockets with usb charging, an electric oven, gas hob, extractor fan and fridge freezer.

The bathroom has a bath with shower over, a sink with vanity unit, WC, heated towel rail and a light-up mirror.
The front double bedroom overlooks the street, the rear bedroom has sliding wardrobe doors and overlooks the garden and the third bedroom at the front has built-in storage units.

The area is quiet and close to a row of shops a few hundred metres away, including a Co-op, an off licence, a South African butcher, a hairdresser, a barber's and a fish and chip shop.
There are horse fields, country walks and pubs nearby, leading on to the Frogmore fishing lakes with miles of country walks, rivers, stately homes and country pubs.
Local train stations at How Wood and Park Street connect to nearby villages and St Albans Abbey, with its leisure centre, swimming pool, Roman park and abbey.
