An immaculately presented and much improved detached family home with a sizeable garden. This spacious five bedroom property is located close to the highly regarded St Albans Girls School and is within easy reach of the mainline station.
Having been substantially extended by the current owners, this impressive double fronted property has an excellent configuration of rooms and a layout which allows a flexibility of use making it ideal for families. Beautifully finished, its interior has a contemporary style which incorporates original period details, creating a home which is light and spacious throughout, but which retains the charm and character of the original 1930's house.
The property is set back from the road, with a block paved driveway providing plenty of parking. The front door sits between two pretty original stained glass windows and beneath a small porch, and it opens into a spacious entrance hall with timber flooring. The separate dual aspect living room with feature fireplace is to one side of the property, and to the other is a room which serves as a bedroom and study, with direct access to a ground floor shower room.
An extension to the rear has created a bright and generously proportioned open plan space with rooflights above and large glazed doors to the garden, with the clever design allowing separation of the cosy sitting room with acoustic bi-fold doors as needed. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, and the kitchen incorporates a breakfast bar for more informal dining as well as providing excellent storage and integrated appliances including double oven and dishwasher. There is also a separate utility room.
The high quality finish continues upstairs, where there is a particularly spacious landing with a window to the front of the house, and four bedrooms, three of which can accommodate a double bed. One of the bedrooms has the advantage of a bright en-suite shower room, and there is a stylish family bathroom reached from the landing. The loft provides useful additional storage space and could offer scope for further extension subject to the usual consents.
The beautiful rear garden is one of the most attractive features of the property, with mature hedges to the boundaries giving a good level of privacy, a number of mature trees, shrubs and plants and a large lawn. A decked area close to the house provides a pleasant seating area and there is a pretty detached timber studio with power and lighting.
