Orient Close, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

The Property:

A deceptively spacious four bedroom semi- detached home in a superb location. This extended property is in a quiet location with far reaching views over the golf course, yet has the considerable advantage of being less than a mile from both the city centre and the St Albans City Station.

Description:

With over 1800 square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors, this four bedroom property is one of the most spacious in Orient Close, and is in arguably the best position within the development in a private corner location.
The house is set back from the road and has a garden as well as driveways providing off-street parking for three cars. The front door is set under a porch and opens into an entrance hall with a WC and this leads into a large open plan kitchen/dining room. This dual aspect space offers flexibility of usage and has ample room for dining furniture and a stylish fitted kitchen at the rear, well planned, with a central island, plenty of storage and integrated appliances including oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Large bi-fold doors from the kitchen provide direct access out to the garden. A partial conversion of the garage has created a separate family room accessed from the kitchen which could equally serve as a home office.
A door from the kitchen leads through a lobby and past a useful utility room to an unexpectedly large living room, added as an extension to the original layout by the previous owners. This bright space has windows to three sides, with one of these being an attractive bay window overlooking the garden.
The extended first floor accommodation feels bright and spacious throughout, with the landing providing access to a total of four bedrooms as well as a family bathroom. The largest of the original bedrooms is located at the front of the property, with an en-suite shower room, and the second is dual aspect, positioned above the family room. The impressive principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower forms part of the extension, it is filled with natural light from windows to the front and rear, and has lovely views of the garden and golf course beyond. The property also benefits from two fully boarded lofts providing plentiful storage installed by the current owners along with alarm, CCTV, Ring doorbell and Nest heating system.
The landscaped rear garden is south-west facing and is arranged over two levels with a higher level laid primarily to lawn with a paved seating area close to the house and steps lead to a lower section. There are stunning views of Verulam Golf Course to the rear and there is an additional plot of land to the side of the garden to which the owners of the property have exclusive rights to purchase should they wish.
