About
Located in one of St Albans' most popular residential areas and within walking distance of the highly regarded Beaumont School, this refurbished three-bedroom family home offers stylish, move-in-ready accommodation with the added benefit of planning permission already granted to significantly extend and enhance the property.
The accommodation currently comprises a bright and spacious living room with patio doors opening onto the rear garden, together with a modern kitchen/dining room that provides an excellent space for everyday family life and entertaining.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom and separate WC.
A major attraction of this home is the approved planning permission for a single-storey rear extension and loft conversion, including a hip-to-gable conversion and rear dormer, creating the opportunity to transform the property into a substantial four-bedroom family residence with additional living space.
Outside, the property benefits from a well-maintained rear garden and ample off-street parking to the front.
Offered to the market chain free and ready for immediate occupation, this is a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a home they can move straight into while retaining excellent scope to add further value in the future.
Firwood Avenue enjoys a superb location close to excellent local amenities, with The Alban Way just moments away, providing a popular walking and cycling route into the city centre and to St Albans City station.
The vibrant city centre offers an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, making this an ideal home for families and commuters alike.
