Description

This semi-detached residence, poised on a spacious plot with views of an open green, presents significant investment opportunities, particularly with its potential for a side extension (pending planning approval). The home already features a full-width rear extension, enhancing its living space. With no onward chain, it is ready for a new owner to put their personal touch on it. Upon entering, you are greeted by a practical entrance hall that leads to the main living areas. The comfortable lounge boasts a generous window that fills the space with light and showcases original wood parquet flooring alongside a gas fireplace, adding character. The sociable kitchen/dining room features beech-style cabinetry and includes both integrated and freestanding appliances. A square archway connects this area to a bright family room that benefits from dual-aspect windows and sliding patio doors leading directly to the garden, making it ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. On the first floor, you’ll find three good-sized bedrooms, each with built-in storage solutions, as well as a family bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath and a separate WC – all spaces that could benefit from modern updates. Externally, the property has curb appeal with its block-paved driveway providing off-street parking and leading to a detached garage. The rear garden features both a patio area and level lawn, with ample potential for landscaping or further development. Located in St. Vincent Drive, this property is conveniently situated near local shops and reputable schools while offering easy access to St Albans city center and major transport links such as the M25 motorway. This home is an excellent canvas for those looking to invest in renovations or expansions.
