About
Private aluminium gates open to the expansive driveway of this exceptional five-bedroom residence.
It is rare to find a detached home of these proportions set on the edge of the conservation area within easy walking distance of the city centre, mainline rail station, the cathedral quarter, woodland, and highly regarded schools.
The property offers beautifully appointed accommodation, combining modern luxury with characterful charm.
A striking vaulted hallway sets the tone, leading to a formal dining room, elegant living room, and an impressive 26ft open-plan kitchen/family room—perfect for contemporary living.
Further benefits include a large utility room and ground floor WC.
Upstairs a galleried landing leads to five generously sized bedrooms, four of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms, in addition to a well-appointed family bathroom.
Surrounded by green on all sides, the highly private rear garden is fully enclosed, features a nature pond and an elevated decking area ideal for outdoor entertaining.
This stunning family home benefits from easy access to the wealth of history, culture, and leisure facilities that St Albans has to offer, while Central London can be reached in as little as 20 minutes by rail.
