The Property

A beautifully presented period townhouse situated in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter conservation area close to the city centre, Abbey, Verulamium Park and St Michael’s Village, and within easy reach of both stations.

There is recently extended and refurbished accommodation over three floors that has been reconfigured to create stylishly appointed living spaces to the ground floor, combining the best of both worlds: a fabulous open plan kitchen/breakfast room, with distinct dining and living areas, all opening onto a south-facing garden through bi-fold doors, with a separate formal sitting room at the front of the house. The kitchen features a Falcon range cooker, and integrated appliances with a dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. The flooring is by Amtico and the entire space benefits from underfloor heating.

A storm porch leads to an entrance hall with cloak room, both of which also have under floor heating, and together complete the picture on the ground floor, while to the first floor there are two very comfortable double bedrooms along with a large bathroom, with a roll top bath and separate walk-in shower. To the lower ground floor is the basement which provides useful storage and utility space and offers scope to enlarge subject to the necessary consents.

Outside

The house sits behind a handsome period façade and town house style garden with a footpath leading to the arched storm porch and front door. To the rear of the house is a glorious south-facing garden that has been hard landscaped to provide the ideal place for entertaining and alfresco dining. It is surrounded by contemporary fenced boundaries and offers a high degree of privacy with a pleasant open aspect. Bi-fold doors to the gable ended rear elevation of the house link the interior and exterior beautifully.

Location

In the heart of Cathedral Quarter conservation area close to the city centre, Abbey, Verulamium Park and St Michael’s Village, and within easy reach of both stations, highly regarded schools and extensive local amenities.
