Description

This four-bedroom detached family residence is situated in a highly desirable area, just a short stroll from Harpenden's town center and mainline railway station, as well as the scenic Nickey Line. Families will appreciate its proximity to top-rated schools like Roundwood Park and Wood End, making it an attractive choice for educational opportunities. While the property has been well maintained, it also presents significant potential for modernization. Notably, planning permission has already been secured for an expansive part single and part two-storey extension (Planning Reference: 5/2025/0524), enabling the new owner to greatly enhance both the living space and property value. The layout spans two floors, featuring a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a spacious, dual-aspect living room alongside a separate dining area, fitted kitchen, utility room, and convenient ground floor cloakroom. The upper level offers four generously sized bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom, ensuring versatile accommodation for growing families. Outside, the mature rear garden extends approximately 63 feet in depth and is primarily laid to lawn with well-stocked flower beds providing a pleasant outdoor space ideal for gatherings and family activities. The front boasts a substantial driveway offering off-street parking for multiple vehicles alongside an integral garage. Additionally, the lawned area enhances curb appeal. With its prime location, ample existing living space, and exceptional potential to extend further, this property represents a rare chance to create a long-lasting family home in one of Harpenden's most sought-after neighborhoods.
