Oakwood Road, Bricket Wood, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, AL2 3PX

This is a splendid detached family home with potential for renovation and modernisation.

Set in the sought-after village of Bricket Wood and within easy reach of local transport connections, the property offers three bedrooms and a flexible layout with three additional ground-floor rooms, which could be used as receptions or further bedrooms.

The main ground floor reception is the well-proportioned sitting room, which has an airy, open feel owing to its vertical timber framing and half-height exposed brick wall separating it from the entrance hall.

There is a dual aspect welcoming plenty of sunlight, as well as a brick-built fireplace, fitted with a stove.

Adjoining the sitting room in a semi open-plan layout is the large kitchen, which has a sunny south-facing aspect and sliding glass doors opening to the gardens.

There is space for a dining table, while the kitchen itself has wooden fitted units, integrated appliances including dual ovens, a gas hob and an extractor hood, and space for further under-counter appliances.

The additional ground-floor living spaces could be used as sitting room, snugs or studies, or could be utilised as additional bedrooms.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom at the rear with its dressing room, which is fitted with built-in wardrobes, and its en suite shower room.

The second bedroom also benefits from fitted storage. Furthermore, both the ground and first floors have access to family shower rooms.

At the entrance to the property, gates open to the gravel driveway which provides plenty of parking space in front of the house, as well as further parking space at the side and access to the detached garage at the rear.

The garage measures 37ft and provides a wealth of storage and workshop space.

The front gardens have an area of lawn with a central pathway leading to the entrance and raised beds to either side of the front door, filled with various shrubs and flowering perennials.

The gardens continue at the rear, benefitting from a sunny south-facing aspect and featuring patio for al fresco dining, an area of lawn, border beds and established hedgerow and mature trees providing shelter and shade, as well as a pond and a summer house for garden storage.

The property is situated in the desirable village of Bricket Wood, well placed for access to local amenities and larger centres.

It is conveniently positioned for access to St Albans, which offers a comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and everyday services.

Other towns in the region, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden, provide additional facilities and amenities.
