Sopwell Lane, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

The Property:

Situated in the heart of the St Albans city centre and within walking distance of the mainline station, this attractive two-bedroom, Grade II Listed cottage sits in a prime location and is offered to the market with no onward chain. Set in the charming and highly sought-after conservation area of Sopwell Lane, the property exudes character with many of its original features beautifully preserved, including fireplaces, sash windows, and exposed timbers and beams.

Description:

Originally one large residence, this charming building was divided into two cottages, maintaining its original entrance door which opens into a shared walkway leading to each cottage. Upon entering the kitchen/breakfast room, you will find it well-equipped with a range of wall and floor storage units, granite worktops, and a traditional Butler sink. Integrated appliances include a double oven, gas hob, and space for a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, and freezer. A window overlooking the private rear garden enhances the kitchen's charm.
The living room boasts a stunning feature fireplace with an inset cast iron gas fire, exposed timber beams, and a Georgian-style sash window to the front, flooding the space with natural light.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing, featuring charming, latched doors, leads to two generously sized double bedrooms and a bright family bathroom. The principal bedroom, which is unexpectedly spacious, has double built-in wardrobes and a Georgian-style sash window to the front. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers plenty of room for storage. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a panelled bath with a chrome thermostatic power shower, a low-level WC, and a washbasin. A built-in cupboard houses the boiler, and a frosted window allows natural light to flow in.
Outside, the private rear garden extends to an impressive 78ft. Paved seating areas at both ends of the garden provide the perfect spot for outdoor relaxation, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs that add to the serene atmosphere. This characterful property offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience, all within easy walking distance of the city centre and mainline station.
