Description

This spacious, chain-free three-bedroom family home is full of potential and just waiting for someone to add their personal touch. It's in a popular residential area and offers great potential for extension (subject to planning permission).

Ideally located near the highly sought-after schools, including Samuel Ryder, it's also just 1.3 miles from St Albans mainline station, providing direct access to London via St Pancras International. You'll also find a variety of local shops nearby, and St Albans' vibrant city centre, with its fantastic selection of shops, restaurants, and pubs, is just a short drive away.

The house does require some updating, and while it has been extended by the current owner, final building regulation sign-off hasn’t been completed—feel free to ask us for more details. Inside, the home offers well-planned living spaces, starting with a welcoming entrance hall and convenient ground-floor W.C. The bright, open-plan living and dining room flows through to a spacious kitchen/dining area with direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the block-paved driveway offers ample off-street parking, and the large rear garden has plenty of potential to become a fantastic space for family gatherings with a bit of TLC.
