About
Located on the highly regarded London Road in St Albans, this impressive five-bedroom semi-detached period residence has been extensively upgraded and extended by the current owners, resulting in a substantial and versatile family home.
The property successfully combines contemporary living requirements with a wealth of retained original features, including three working fireplaces that enhance the character and appeal throughout.
The ground floor provides well-balanced and adaptable accommodation, centred around a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
In addition, there is a separate reception room to the front offering a more formal living space with a large bay window with working fireplace.
A large welcoming entrance hall features a further fireplace and cloak cupboard. The dining room is in the centre of the ground floor and adds to the versatile space.
A useful utility room and guest W/C completes the ground floor.
Arranged over the first and second floors are five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for families, guests or home working.
The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, while the remaining bedrooms are all of good size and served by well-placed bathroom facilities across the upper floors.
Externally, the property benefits from ample off-street parking to the front, together with a detached double garage.
A substantial outbuilding provides a garden office and gym, adding further versatility. To the rear is a private, low-maintenance garden, ideal for outdoor enjoyment with minimal upkeep.
The property is offered to the market with no onward chain and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful yet modernised home in one of St Albans’ most desirable locations.
London Road is a tree-lined road on the South Eastern side of St Albans city centre. The address is ideal for commuters either using the mainline station or the surrounding motorway networks.
The city centre with its vast amenities, bars and eateries are only a short stroll away.
