Description

This property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring a well-maintained two-storey layout enriched with original features that reflect its historical charm. The ground floor consists of a welcoming storm porch, an entrance hall, two formal reception areas, and a modern kitchen that is functional but could benefit from further enhancements. On the first floor, you will find three bedrooms alongside a bathroom and a separate W.C., with additional loft space available for storage or future development. Although the home is currently comfortable and well-cared-for, there exists significant potential for expansion and improvement. This could include substantial extensions to both the ground and first floors, as well as the possibility of converting and enlarging the loft area. The spacious garden provides ample room for standalone structures that could serve various purposes, such as a home office or recreational space. The outdoor area includes a single garage complemented by a lean-to shed, along with several additional storage sheds dotting the approximately 200-foot rear garden. This lush garden offers privacy with its mature fruit trees and planted borders, making it an attractive feature of the home. The front garden adds curb appeal while offering driveway parking suitable for multiple vehicles. Situated in the desirable Chiswell Green area of St Albans, this property is in close proximity to reputable schools and benefits from convenient transport links to London via fast train services. Moreover, easy access to the motorway network enhances its appeal for commuters heading towards Watford or North London.
