Description

This charming semi-detached home, built in the 1930s, is situated in a sought-after area and offers significant renovation and investment potential. With approved planning permission for side, rear, and loft extensions, the property is poised to expand into an impressive four-bedroom family residence that would encompass approximately 1,573 square feet (146.2 square meters) of living space. Currently, the layout includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to a bright bay-fronted lounge and a sociable dining room that connects to a rear addition. This extension features a light-filled sitting room with sliding patio doors that provide easy access to the private garden. The existing kitchen is functional but presents opportunities for modernization or reconfiguration to suit contemporary needs. On the first floor, three bedrooms are accompanied by a family bathroom and a separate WC, while a hatch leads to the loft space—an ideal candidate for further development. The exterior offers appealing features such as a low brick wall at the front and double gates that lead to the driveway and detached garage. The south-west facing garden is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a patio area alongside lush lawn space. Located on Cambridge Road within the popular Fleetville district of St Albans, this property benefits from proximity to various shops and services as well as several highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Additionally, nearby parks enhance the appeal of this neighborhood by providing ample green spaces for outdoor activities. In conclusion, this property not only retains its period charm but also holds great potential for those looking to invest in an expanding family home in an attractive community setting.
