About
Occupying a highly sought-after position on Marshals Drive, directly opposite the open green space of The Wick, this impressive detached family home offers generous and versatile accommodation, a substantial private garden and exciting potential for further enhancement and extension.
The property has an attractive traditional façade and provides an excellent balance of character and modern family living.
The ground floor is particularly spacious, with two separate reception rooms to the front offering flexible spaces for formal entertaining, relaxing or working from home.
To the rear, the heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, creating a superb everyday family space with views and access across the garden.
There are four bedrooms served by two bathrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for a growing family.
Further space is provided within the converted loft, currently utilised as a home office and study, making it ideal for those requiring a dedicated workspace away from the main living areas.
A particular highlight of the property is the exceptional rear garden. Generous in both scale and privacy, it provides a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining, children's play and family life.
Its size also offers considerable scope to enlarge the existing house and create an even more substantial family home, subject of course to the necessary planning consents.
Marshals Drive is regarded as one of the area's most desirable residential addresses, and this particular position opposite The Wick adds considerably to its appeal.
Sandringham School is within easy walking distance, while St Albans' vibrant city centre and mainline station also remain accessible, providing fast rail connections into London St Pancras.
Combining an excellent location, substantial garden, generous existing accommodation and significant future potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached family home in in St. Albans.
