About
Set in the heart of St Albans city centre, this impressive four-bedroom character home combines generous living space with a wealth of period charm and thoughtful modern improvements.
The ground floor offers a large bay-fronted living room with bespoke fitted cabinetry, alongside a separate library/snug providing a more intimate reception space.
To the rear, the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room creates a sociable heart to the home, with doors opening directly onto the private rear garden. A ground-floor WC adds further practicality.
There is also a useful basement room, currently used as an additional reception/playroom, giving the house excellent flexibility for family life.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite, together with the family bathroom.
The top floor has recently been refurbished alongside works to the roof and now provides an additional fourth bedroom, with far-reaching views towards Gorhambury and beyond.
Solar panels and battery storage have also been added as part of the recent improvements.
All of this is within easy reach of St Albans city centre, the High Street and the mainline station, making this a particularly well-positioned family home.

FCQ200514/1 Seller Quote “We’ve loved the amount of space and flexibility the house gives us, from the separate reception rooms and basement/playroom to the recently refurbished loft.
The views from the top floor towards Gorhambury are a real highlight, and being able to walk easily into the city centre and to the station has made the location incredibly convenient.”
