About
An attractive and characterful 1930s three-bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous plot along the ever-popular Lower Luton Road, ideally positioned between Wheathampstead and Harpenden.
While the property would benefit from modernisation internally, it offers exceptional scope for enhancement and extension (subject to the necessary planning consents), presenting an ideal prospect for purchasers wishing to create a bespoke family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
The ground floor accommodation is both spacious and versatile.
To the rear, a substantial L-shaped sitting and dining room extends to over 20 feet, enjoying delightful views across the garden and featuring patio doors that open directly onto the outdoor terrace - an ideal setting for entertaining and family gatherings.
A separate front sitting room provides a cosy retreat, while the kitchen is conveniently positioned adjacent to the dining area.
The ground floor is further complemented by a shower room and a welcoming entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from the luxury of an en suite bathroom, all arranged around a central landing. Externally, the home truly excels.
The impressive rear garden is beautifully arranged with established flowerbeds, mature planting and a variety of seating areas, creating a private and tranquil outdoor sanctuary.
To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage, which has been divided into two.
Combining character, space and outstanding potential in a highly desirable location, this attractive home presents an exciting opportunity for its next chapter.
Located in a super position just off the Lower Luton Road ideally situated between Harpenden and the village of Wheathampstead and within walking distance to popular schooling.
This property enjoys an elevated position with stunning open countryside and views over the Lea Valley as far as Aldwickbury Golf Course.
Harpenden Station and Town Centre is just 1.5 miles away and can be reached by car within 5 minutes.
