Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached family home is located in a highly desirable area, just a short distance from the vibrant St Albans City Centre. The property offers ample living space with significant potential for investment or renovation, catering perfectly to modern family needs. The ground floor greets you with a spacious, light-filled living room featuring an attractive bay window. The open-plan kitchen and dining area serves as the centerpiece of the home and connects seamlessly to an extended living area that opens directly into the expansive garden. Additionally, there is a practical downstairs WC. On the first floor, you will find three well-sized bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom equipped with a standard three-piece suite. Notably, the converted loft space enhances versatility, making it suitable for various uses such as an office or extra storage. Outside, off-road parking is available via a hardstanding driveway at the front. At the rear, a generous 130ft garden primarily laid to lawn comes with a garage providing extra storage options. With no onward chain, this property presents an excellent opportunity for extension and remodelling (subject to local planning permissions). Additionally, it should be noted that the external garage and workshop feature corrugated hard asbestos roofs. This prompts consideration for future refurbishment where necessary. Situated in Batchwood Drive on the north-west side of St Albans, this location benefits from proximity to reputable schools and leisure facilities such as Batchwood Golf Club and Verulamium Park. The city centre is also within walking distance, enhancing its appeal for families and professionals alike.
