Description

This four-bedroom detached family home is situated on an impressive 0.48-acre plot, bordering open farmland and showcasing scenic countryside views, including stunning sunrises. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property provides convenient access to Jersey Farm Woodland Park, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those who enjoy nature walks. The desirable location also places it within close proximity to well-regarded primary and secondary schools. Located in the quaint village of Sandridge, just outside St Albans, this property benefits from its rural charm while remaining near urban conveniences. Heartwood Forest is only a short stroll away, and the village features essential amenities such as a local store and three friendly country pubs. St Albans City Centre and Harpenden are also nearby, offering excellent transport links to London St Pancras along with a variety of shopping and recreational options. The home's layout offers ample flexible living space across two levels, complete with an indoor swimming pool area that presents unique opportunities for relaxation or fitness. Upon entry through the porch, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads to two versatile rooms suitable for use as additional bedrooms or home offices—each equipped with ensuite facilities. The hallway continues into a formal dining room that flows into a well-appointed kitchen/dining area featuring a large central island. The expansive living room showcases an open fireplace and a distinctive bow window that invites natural light while providing delightful views of the garden. Additional features on the ground floor include a utility room, guest W.C., and the indoor swimming pool heated by an efficient air-source heat pump. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms are complemented by charming sloped ceilings; one of these includes its own ensuite bathroom for added convenience. Outside, the property offers plenty of parking with a block-paved driveway leading to an oversized double garage. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is adorned with mature trees, providing a peaceful retreat that backs onto farmland. While this home already boasts substantial accommodation space, it also holds significant renovation and extension potential (subject to planning permission), making it an enticing prospect for investors or those looking to create their dream home tailored to their needs. This is a unique opportunity to explore the possibilities this exceptional property has to offer.
