Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment in a quiet cul-de-sac in central Harpenden. The property is conveniently located near the local train station, High Street, and highly regarded schools, making it an attractive option for families and commuters alike. While the interior requires significant updating, this offers a blank canvas for potential buyers to customize according to their preferences. There is considerable scope for extending the living space, subject to planning permission. The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining area along with a kitchen. Additionally, there is an integral garage that could be transformed into extra living accommodation or repurposed as needed. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms – two of which include fitted wardrobes – along with a bathroom and a separate W.C. This layout provides flexibility for families or those considering rental opportunities. The exterior includes a well-maintained garden with a paved patio area, perfect for outdoor gatherings. Established hedges provide privacy, and there is direct gated access to the Nickey Line, offering a scenic nature trail ideal for running and dog walking – as well as a convenient shortcut to Roundwood School. Bramble Close boasts an appealing location just off Hollybush Lane, enhancing its desirability. Residents benefit from easy access to local amenities while being within proximity of excellent educational institutions catering to all age groups. The vibrant community offers numerous recreational options including golf courses, sports facilities, shops, and restaurants. With quick rail links to St Pancras International (approximately 26 minutes) and straightforward access to the M1 motorway via Junction 9, this property not only presents potential for personal customization but also serves as a sound investment in a sought-after area.
