Description

This unique property presents an intriguing opportunity for investors or renovators looking to enhance a distinguished seven-bedroom detached residence nestled within a gated community in St Albans. With its impressive scale and elegant architecture, this home spans four levels and features original period details that could be revitalized to blend historic charm with modern living. The spacious ground floor boasts tall ceilings and ornate fireplaces across several reception areas, making it an ideal canvas for reconfiguration or contemporary upgrades. Meanwhile, the kitchen and adjoining conservatory overlook landscaped gardens, offering potential for expansion or remodeling to maximize outdoor living space. The lower ground floor provides substantial basement space that can be repurposed for entertainment or storage needs, presenting further avenues for transformation. The upper floors house generously sized bedrooms with decorative elements that may benefit from modernization, including a principal suite with an en-suite bathroom and additional rooms suitable for varied uses—whether accommodating family, guests, or a home office setting. Outside, the gardens are beautifully landscaped yet offer ample scope for enhancement or integration of new structures, such as an outbuilding that could serve as a home office or gym (subject to planning permission). This property not only holds potential as a stunning family home but also as an investment opportunity with substantial renovation possibilities.
