About
Occupying a prime position on one of Harpenden's most prestigious and sought-after residential roads, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of exceptional potential on a magnificent plot with a beautifully established rear garden extending to approximately 150 feet.
Offering around 2,270 sq. Ft.
Of versatile accommodation, the property has been lovingly maintained and provides spacious, well-balanced living spaces ideally suited to modern family life, whilst offering tremendous scope to remodel, enlarge and create a truly outstanding long-term family home, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
The ground floor comprises an impressive 22ft dual-aspect living room with attractive bay window overlooking the front aspect, a separate family room, and a further reception room currently arranged as a playroom or sixth bedroom offering excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies or multi-generational living.
The generous kitchen/dining room enjoys views over the rear garden and is complemented by a separate utility room with direct access to the outside.
A study, guest cloakroom and integral garage complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom and separate shower room, comfortably catering for the demands of growing families.
One of the property's defining features is the outstanding rear garden, extending to approximately 150 feet.
Beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private, it offers expansive lawns framed by mature trees, established planting and colourful borders, creating a peaceful setting rarely found so close to Harpenden's town centre.
The generous plot provides considerable scope for extension to the rear and side, or comprehensive reconfiguration to maximise the property's full potential, subject to the necessary consents.
To the front, a large block-paved carriage driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to the integral garage, whilst the attractive traditional façade gives the home an impressive street presence befitting its highly regarded location.
Dalkeith Road is widely recognised as one of Harpenden's premier residential addresses, offering convenient access to the town centre, mainline station with fast services into London St Pancras International, highly regarded state and private schools, and the extensive amenities, restaurants and boutique shops that make Harpenden one of Hertfordshire's most desirable places to live.
A home of considerable character, occupying an exceptional plot in an unrivalled location, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to modernise, extend and create a landmark family residence in one of Harpenden's finest settings.
Dalkeith Road is a wonderful central location presenting a characterful range of houses on large mature plots.
The property is located close to the renowned Crabtree school and is just a short walk from both St Georges and Sir John Lawes Secondary Schools.
