The Property:

A sizeable semi-detached home in a superb location on one of St Albans most desirable roads and close to several highly regarded schools. The property has a spacious layout, which includes four double bedrooms and two reception rooms, and has an impressive west facing garden with separate garden room.

Description:

Occupying a generous plot on a quiet avenue, this charming, extended semi-detached home is presented in good condition and offers spacious accommodation arranged over two floors and configured in such a way as to provide excellent flexibility of use.

Set back from the road, beyond a lawned front garden and a resin bonded driveway, the front door opens into a porch which leads into a spacious entrance hall with an understairs WC. An impressive reception room with a large square bay window bay is positioned to the front of the property and this generously proportioned space has a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove.
To the rear, there is a bright open-plan kitchen and dining room, with windows and glazed double doors overlooking the garden. The kitchen is well planned with smart contemporary units and while its design includes a small breakfast bar for more informal dining, there is also plenty of space adjacent for a dining table and chairs. Conversion of the garage has created a utility room off the kitchen which provides additional space for cupboards and appliances and this has a door providing access into a useful shelved storage area at the front of the house ideal for bikes.

Further reception space is reached from the dining area, where there is a cosy living room opening into a bright conservatory-style room with rooflights above. These two rooms could serve a number of functions and bi-fold doors allow them to be separated as required. Underfloor heating has been installed throughout the ground floor and the property has solar panels which contribute to the cost of the water heating.

There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, all accessed from a large landing with a window to the side of the house. Two of the bedrooms have fitted storage and the largest has a lovely bay window. All have use of a well planned bathroom and separate large shower room.

The west facing garden is a particularly attractive feature and this extends to over 130ft in length. Lovingly maintained by the current owners, it is laid mainly to lawn, with some well stocked planting beds and a number of mature trees and shrubs. Closer to the house there is a raised paved seating area, and a good sized heated Garden Room has been installed at the rear, offering extra living space or potential as a home office.
