Townsend Close, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5

Detached bungalow in a plot of about 0.25 acres in a private cul de sac

Description

3 Townsend Close is wonderfully located in a small private cul de sac of just four bungalows, situated off Townsend Lane, approximately half a mile walk from Harpenden High Street. It occupies a lovely flat plot of about a quarter of an acre which backs onto the gardens of Park Avenue North, offering great seclusion and privacy.

The property offers plenty of scope for extension, subject to the usual planning consents, or modernisation of the existing structure which currently offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The bungalow is laid out with the main living space in the centre and bedroom wings on either side. There is a large sitting room overlooking the rear garden with fireplace. An arch leads through to a dining room and in turn to a conservatory. The kitchen is located to the front of the property and has space for a breakfast table. The main bedroom suite is situated on one side of the bungalow and has extensive wardrobes and a door to the garden and a large en suite bathroom. The three further bedrooms and family shower room are on the other side of the property accessed from the main hallway.

The quarter acre plot is a real feature of the property with the bungalow set well back from the road offering an impressive frontage and driveway leading to a detached double garage. The gardens wrap around with plenty of space to one side and the rear garden is well screened by mature trees and hedging and offers good privacy. There is a patio and garden shed.

Location

Situated just over half a mile from the town’s high street, the location is most desirable, not least due to the close proximity to the local schools, in particular Roundwood Park School.

The town centre offers an extensive array of shops, boutiques and restaurants and for the commuter, a main line station offering a fast and frequent service into St Pancras International from about 28 minutes.

For the car commuter, junction nine of the M1 is under five miles away which provides a direct link to the M25 and the motorway network beyond.

Harpenden is privileged to offer a great choice of state and private schools for all age groups.

There are plenty of leisure opportunities too including a comprehensive sports complex at Rothamsted Park and four golf courses on the edge of the town.
