Description

Nestled in a historic area of St Albans, this quaint character cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Spread across two floors, the home features an inviting split-level sitting and dining room that boasts a log burner, perfect for those looking to enhance its charm. The shaker-style kitchen is already stylish but could benefit from modernization. A modern bathroom adds to the convenience, while the ground floor lobby, which includes laundry facilities and direct garden access, offers practicality for potential reconfiguration. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms with access to the loft, which may be suitable for conversion into additional living space with the appropriate approvals. The rear garden is a generous space arranged over three levels, complete with lawn areas and two sun terraces; here lies potential for extensions or further landscaping to increase value. Situated just north of the city center, this property is conveniently located close to local amenities, parks, and well-rated schools—making it an attractive prospect for both homeowners and investors contemplating future improvements.
