Located in the vibrant and highly desirable St Albans city centre, Alban House is a beautifully restored and extended highly attractive Edwardian home. It comprises 11 apartments, consisting of 2 x 2 bedroom 2 bathroom flats, 4 x 1 bedroom 1 bathroom flats and 5 studio flats. Each of them come with allocated spaces in the barrier protected car park.

The house was built in 1910 and beautifully restored in 2015 oozing character and English charm throughout. The front and back beautifully landscaped gardens that envelope the property compliment the design of the house perfectly.

Each apartment has been thoughtfully designed, with the open plan living room kitchen areas perfect for hosting, lounging and working from home alike. The specifications of the the kitchens include integrated appliances, stone worktops, induction hobs and a minimalist design throughout.

The flats are fitted with luxurious Karndean flooring throughout and the fully tiled bathrooms include underfloor heating, heated mirrors and walk in showers.

The communal areas are wide and welcoming and each apartment benefits from a secure entry phone system.

At the rear of the house there is a large, communal terrace area to enjoy outdoor dining surrounded by a beautiful secluded well kept garden - perfect for those long summer evenings!

Planning permission has been granted (St Albans Council - Application reference: 5/2022/0173) to build an additional 3 x 1 bed mews style homes in the rear car parking area, in keeping with the character of the main building. This will not affect the current parking allocation for the house.

The house is situated on a lovely road in the heart of St. Albans city centre, walking distance to the mainline station which provides direct and quick access to Central London - London St Pancras is just 20 minutes train journey. The wide array of leisure facilities, restaurants, pubs and historical gems. are all on your doorstep giving maximum convenience for residents.

Road users have easy access to the M25, M1 and A1 and 3 main London airports are all a quick journey away - London Heathrow Airport (40 minutes), London Luton Airport (25 minutes) and London Stansted Airport (60 minutes).

The flats are particular suitable for serviced accommodation too with all the fittings included should the buyer want to rent the flat on short or medium let. The occupancy rate would be extremely high as there is strong demand for high quality serviced accommodation in the area. Alternatively this would make an excellent long term traditional rental investment with current demand for rental properties being higher than ever before, attracting good professional clientele.

Viewing time flexible with video viewings possible too.
