A stunning five bedroom detached home located in the highly desirable St Stephens area of St Albans.



Description

This striking home was originally built in the 1950s and is located in one of the best roads in the St Stephens area of St Albans which is in walking distance to excellent state and private schools and a short journey to local Stations. It has recently been subject to an extensive programme of renovations to completely overhaul the inside and out of the house, creating a very stylish and extremely spacious family home, extending to over 3000 square feet. The property is beautifully appointed and has been refurbished to an exacting standard, featuring all the desired modern conveniences such as underfloor heating, Cat 6 cabling, bifold doors, a sleek kitchen packed with integrated appliances for easy entertaining at home and sleek and stylish bathrooms. The house has been decorated in neutral tones so that the new owner can stamp their own personality on the interiors, though the white walls, abundance of glazing and high ceilings highlight the excellent natural light. Finishing touches include plush carpeting, built-in cabinetry to provide lots of storage and premium tiling and light fittings. This house must be seen to be fully appreciated.

The ground floor accommodation is spacious and bright, with an imposing galleried entrance hall leading to a sitting room/ bedroom five, home office, reception room, living room and open plan kitchen/dining/ family room with adjoining utility room. There is also a useful downstairs shower room and WC. A feature central oak staircase leads up to a principal bedroom with en suite bath/shower room, a further en suite guest bedroom, two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The house is set back from the road behind a generous driveway which offers lots of off-road parking. To the side of the house there is an attached tandem double garage. The rear garden features an expansive terrace at the back of the house, with steps leading down to a level lawn enclosed by mature borders of well-established shrubs.
