Nestled behind electric gates and surrounded by approximately 0.32 acres of established gardens, this Grade II listed country home presents a unique renovation opportunity in the highly desirable St Albans area. With over 2,800 sq ft of space, this property features a remarkable blend of seventeenth-century architecture and Georgian extensions, reflecting its rich historical significance while providing ample scope for modern enhancements.
The house retains many original elements such as exposed timber beams and inglenook fireplaces that could be beautifully restored or updated to amplify its character. The flexible layout spans three floors, making it ideal for reconfiguration to suit contemporary living needs. The principal living areas offer generous dimensions and access to the gardens, with potential to create an open-plan design that merges indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
The kitchen area is functional but could benefit from modernization to cater for social dining experiences—direct access to the rear garden adds charm and future potential for entertaining. On the first floor, there are opportunities for further customization; an extra dressing room could easily be converted into an additional bathroom if desired. The second floor’s independent suite holds potential for conversion into a self-contained apartment or a versatile guest space.
Outside, the mature grounds provide privacy and tranquility with significant potential for landscaping improvements or expansion of outdoor amenities like patios or entertainment areas. The inclusion of a greenhouse appeals to gardening enthusiasts looking to cultivate their surroundings further. This property is available for the first time in over two decades, offering not just a residence but a chance to invest in St Albans’ architectural legacy while crafting a personalized home that honors its historical roots.
