Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home is located in a desirable area, moments from the vibrant St Albans City Centre. The property features a spacious and adaptable layout that can accommodate modern family living. The ground floor boasts a bright living room with an appealing bay window, providing plenty of natural light. The open-plan kitchen and dining area serve as the heart of the home, leading to an extended living space which connects directly to the garden, alongside a practical downstairs WC for convenience. The upper level includes three sizeable bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom equipped with a three-piece suite. Additionally, a converted loft offers further versatility—perfect for use as an office or playroom. Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking on a hardstanding driveway and an extensive 130ft garden primarily laid to lawn, along with a garage that provides extra storage options. With no onward chain, this home presents numerous opportunities for extension and remodeling to enhance its functionality and value (subject to local planning permissions). It is worth noting that both the garage and workshop have corrugated hard asbestos roofs, which may require attention during renovations. Residents will enjoy proximity to reputable schools and local amenities including St Michaels Village, Verulamium Park, and Batchwood Golf Club and Leisure Centre.
