Park Street Lane, Park Street, AL2 2AX

Set discreetly behind electric gates and enveloped within approximately 0.32 acres of private, mature grounds, Park Street Lane is an exceptional Grade II listed country residence offering in excess of 2,800 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation.

Rarely do homes of this calibre and provenance come to the market, particularly within this highly sought-after St Albans enclave.

Rich in architectural heritage, the property combines a seventeenth-century core, believed to date from the reign of Charles II circa 1670–1680, with a documented Georgian extension completed in 1759, firmly establishing its Georgian pedigree.

The home today presents an elegant blend of historic character and timeless country living, with a wealth of original features including exposed timber beams, impressive inglenook fireplaces, and beautifully preserved period detailing throughout.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation balances refined proportions with an effortless natural flow, creating a residence equally suited to sophisticated entertaining and modern family life.

Upon entry, a light-filled reception hall immediately conveys a sense of scale and character.

The principal living room enjoys picturesque views across the surrounding grounds, with direct access to the gardens and a striking inglenook fireplace fitted with a contemporary gas fire, providing a superb focal point for both formal and informal living.

The separate dining room continues the home’s warm and historic atmosphere, centred around a second inglenook fireplace with log burner, complemented by dual-aspect windows and a charming connecting staircase leading to an additional first-floor bedroom, ideal for guest accommodation or multi-generational living.

The kitchen, with adjoining utility area, has been designed to embrace both practicality and sociable day-to-day living, with direct access onto the rear gardens.

A dedicated study and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional room ideally suited as a dressing room or with potential for conversion into a further bathroom, subject to the necessary consents.

The second floor, once believed to have formed part of the original servant’s quarters, now offers excellent versatility as a self-contained suite, comprising two further rooms and a bathroom, ideal for older children, guests, or independent living arrangements.

Externally, the property is surrounded by beautifully established gardens that wrap gracefully around the house, creating a peaceful and private setting with significant scope for further landscaping or enhancement.

A charming greenhouse provides an attractive addition to the grounds, perfectly suited for keen gardeners and those seeking to enjoy the tranquil outdoor setting, while a traditional granary adds both practical storage and further character to the property.

Secure off-street parking behind electric gates completes the exterior offering.

Offered to the market for the first time in over two decades, Park Street Lane represents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of St Albans’ architectural heritage .

Combining Georgian elegance, substantial accommodation, and a discreet village setting, this is a home of genuine distinction and long-term value.
