Description

This enticing three-bedroom detached bungalow is nestled in a desirable residential area, presenting an appealing opportunity for potential buyers to enhance or expand the property (subject to planning permissions). Entering through a welcoming hallway, you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout that connects all living spaces. The expansive dual-aspect living room, featuring a charming log burner and direct access to the tranquil rear garden, provides an abundance of natural light and fosters a strong indoor-outdoor relationship, ideal for future improvements. The kitchen, located at the front of the house, includes fitted wall and base units with enough room for a breakfast table—perfect for informal dining. Throughout the home, three well-sized bedrooms offer versatility; while the principal bedroom comes with built-in wardrobes, the other two can be adapted as guest rooms or dedicated workspaces. A shower room completes the internal offerings. Outside, you will discover a well-maintained garden that features a patio suitable for entertaining or relaxing in privacy, bordered by flourishing shrubs and plants. Ample off-street parking is available on the driveway along with a long garage that could serve multiple purposes. This property is situated in Harpenden's Park Rise area, which is celebrated for its peaceful atmosphere yet close proximity to excellent amenities. The local high street boasts an array of charming shops and eateries alongside leisure options and green spaces. Families are attracted to this community due to its access to highly rated schools like Roundwood Park Senior School and Woodend Infant and Juniors. Commuters will appreciate Harpenden's mainline station providing good transport links into London St Pancras and road connections via M1 and M25. With its prime location, flexible living spaces, and potential for value addition through renovation or extension, this bungalow stands out as a rare investment prospect in one of Hertfordshire’s favored locales.
