Description

This three-bedroom detached residence, situated on a prominent corner plot in a sought-after area of Harpenden, presents an intriguing opportunity for potential buyers. Available for the first time in over six decades, the property offers a well-distributed layout featuring a bay-windowed living room, a separate dining area, and a kitchen that leads into a utility space. An extended family room at the rear overlooks the well-maintained garden. On the upper floor, you'll find three spacious bedrooms along with a family bathroom. The exterior is enhanced by lush gardens both front and back, off-street parking options, and a detached garage that includes an office space—perfect for those who work from home or need extra storage. Though the home has been cared for throughout its history, there exists considerable potential for extensions and modern updates (subject to obtaining appropriate planning permissions). The generous plot size and strategic position enable the possibility to create a tailored family residence customized to your preferences—a prime canvas in an enviable neighbourhood. Conveniently located near Harpenden's bustling town centre, mainline train station, and reputable schools, this property holds significant long-term potential. Notably, part of the garden has been sectioned off for another development project with pending planning permission for an additional dwelling with vehicle access. Barnfield Road encapsulates charm with its diverse range of character homes from various periods of Harpenden's history. Proximity to highly regarded local schools such as Crabtree and The Grove JMI makes it ideal for families. The local amenities are just around the corner while access to open green spaces like Harpenden Common is within walking distance. With direct rail links to central London in under 30 minutes, this property combines suburban tranquility with urban convenience.
