Description
A detached two-bedroom house in St Stephens, set back from the road with a broad driveway and an attached garage. The entrance hall leads to a spacious reception room with room for both sitting and dining areas, plus a separate room that could serve as a home office. The kitchen connects to a large rear conservatory arranged in two sections.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms with fitted storage and a shower room off the landing. Outside, the rear garden includes a substantial lawn and a paved area. The garage has rear double doors providing access through to the front.
The property is presented as an opportunity for refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents and regulations. St Albans city centre, Verulamium Park, Waitrose and several schools are within walking distance or easy reach.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £750,000, this detached St Stephens house is priced at £503/sq ft, 14.5% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The 65/100 C-grade reflects that appeal, balanced against a moderate project and the fact that the indicative £800,000 purchase-plus-renovation midpoint is about 9.7% below the implied local average value, before fees and with no renovated GDV assumed.
There is a clear modernisation canvas: dated finishes across the visible rooms, an older kitchen and shower room, and scope to refresh the garden. The driveway, garage, conservatory and sizeable rear garden add useful features, while the exterior looks broadly intact in the submitted views. The renovation range is £35,000–£65,000; redevelopment is mentioned by the listing but would depend on consents and feasibility.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen, shower room, carpets and decoration to give the visible interiors a more contemporary feel.
- Improve the lawn, planting and boundary beds to make better use of the sizeable rear garden.
- Make use of the substantial driveway, garage and large rear conservatory as part of the property's appeal.
