About
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early EDWARDIAN HOME in the WOOD END Area.
A charming and beautifully presented three double bedroom home, thoughtfully arranged over three spacious floors and ideally situated in one of Harpenden’s most sought-after residential areas.
This location is particularly popular with families due to its exceptional proximity to several outstanding schools, such as Wood End Primary School which is just a walk away, along with Roundwood Park School which is also a comfortable walking distance and a short drive to Sir John Lawes School, St George’s School, King's School and The Lea Primary School.
The property has been carefully and sympathetically updated by the current owners, successfully blending character features with modern conveniences to create a warm and inviting family home.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming front door opening into an enclosed porch, which in turn leads into a long and elegant entrance hall.
From here, a door opens into a bright and comfortable living room with wood burning stove that flows seamlessly through to the dining area, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.
A further door leads into the well-appointed kitchen, which benefits from direct access to the rear garden via doors opening onto the patio area.
A convenient ground floor WC, located just off the kitchen, completes the accommodation on this level.
The first floor comprises two generously sized double bedrooms with original fireplaces, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light, along with a stylish family bathroom fitted with underfloor heating and modern fixtures.
Stairs rise to the second floor, where you will find a further spacious double bedroom with a dual aspect to the north and south and is enhanced by useful eaves storage, making it a versatile space suitable for a main bedroom or divided into a guest room and home office.
Externally, the property boasts a large south facing rear garden with a gate that backs onto a quiet cul-de-sac, providing an excellent and private outdoor retreat.
This space is perfect for relaxing, family activities, and entertaining guests, with ample room for outdoor dining and play.
To the front, off-street parking adds a valuable element of everyday practicality.
Additionally, the property offers exciting potential for further extension into the side return as well as an en-suite on the top floor subject to the necessary planning permissions, allowing future owners to tailor the home to their specific needs.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb family residence in one of Harpenden’s most desirable and conveniently located settings, combining space, character, and excellent access to local amenities and schooling.
