Description

This detached family residence is set on an expansive plot of 0.39 acres, surrounded by mature gardens and woodland, providing a serene and private environment. With over 1,800 square feet of living space, the home presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and modernization to create a long-term family haven. Having been lovingly maintained by its previous owners, the property boasts charming character features, including exposed ceiling beams in the dual-aspect sitting room and a cozy fireplace. The flexible layout includes separate reception areas such as a family room and a dining room with garden views, along with a spacious kitchen/breakfast area complete with a walk-in pantry and direct outdoor access. The upper level houses four generously sized bedrooms, accompanied by a study that could serve various purposes from home office to nursery. A family bathroom services this floor while offering potential for reconfiguration or enhancements to meet contemporary needs. The well-established gardens are one of the standout features, showcasing mature trees and expansive lawns which provide an ideal setting for outdoor activities or relaxation. Furthermore, there’s promising potential to extend or possibly redevelop the site into multiple dwellings (subject to planning permissions), adding significant investment appeal. Located in the tranquil Kinsbourne Green area, this property retains easy access to Harpenden's renowned amenities including shopping areas, schools, and transportation links. This is an exceptional chance to acquire a beloved family home that offers both comfort and significant future potential.
