About
This spacious family home offers generous and flexible living space and is located in an elevated position on the outskirts of Flamstead village with lovely countryside views, situated within the catchment area for the best Harpenden schools.
To the front of the property a driveway provides ample off-street parking and part of the former garage provides storage.
A large porch leads through to a hallway which gives access to the extensive living space, which includes a double reception room with bay window to the front, dual fuel log burner and French doors to the rear garden.
A large kitchen/diner opens into a further sitting room offering a great family space for dining and relaxing.
The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units with space for a Range style cooker, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
A cloakroom/utility room with WC and handbasin and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer completes the ground floor.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, four of which are doubles with the fifth bedroom currently used as a study.
The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and a stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside the large south facing rear garden is a particular feature of the property with uninterrupted views across to Flamstead and the surrounding countryside.
The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a raised deck accessed from both the kitchen and main reception room.
A useful store room is also located to the rear of the property and could be converted to office space or a gym if desired. A further timber shed provides additional storage.
A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this lovely family home. Old Watling street follows the original route of the famous Roman road.
The modern A5 replaced Old Watling Street which is now a pretty country lane. The village of Flamstead is close by and offers a local shop, two pubs and a highly regarded primary school.
The towns of Harpenden and St Albans are a short drive away, both offering wider amenities, schools and a fast train service into London, transportation links are also easily accessible via junction 9 of the M1 and Luton Airport.
