Description

This semi-detached house features three bedrooms and is situated in the sought-after Chiswell Green area of St Albans, known for its convenient proximity to the city center, main train station, and major motorway connections. Local amenities are within easy reach, making it an ideal location for families and commuters alike. The property is also positioned within the catchment area of the well-regarded Killigrew Primary School. While the home currently requires some modernisation, it offers considerable potential for renovation and enhancement. There is ample opportunity to extend or convert the loft to create additional living space, catering to evolving household needs. A welcoming porch leads into an entrance hallway featuring under-stairs storage and access to various rooms. The spacious living room boasts a front-facing double glazed window and a brick feature fireplace, adding character to the space. Adjacent to the living room, the dining room benefits from patio doors that open onto the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or family relaxation. The kitchen provides a functional layout with a range of wall and base units, alongside integrated appliances such as an electric oven and hob. It also has space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and offers direct access to the side of the property. On the first floor, the landing allows access to all three bedrooms as well as the loft. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a front-facing window, while the other two bedrooms offer built-in storage solutions. The bathroom is equipped with essential amenities including a wash hand basin and bathtub, with additional separate WC nearby. The outdoor spaces are noteworthy; a south-facing rear garden primarily laid to lawn presents an excellent canvas for landscaping or gardening enthusiasts. To enhance curb appeal, there’s a neatly maintained front garden plus driveway parking available for 2-3 vehicles leading up to an attached garage. Overall, this property holds great promise not only as a comfortable residential space but also as an investment opportunity for those looking to make improvements in a desirable neighborhood.
