Fishpool Street, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

The Property:

A beautiful Grade II Listed cottage situated in one of St Albans’ most desirable locations. This charming two bedroom property has been recently refurbished and is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain.

Description:

Dating back to the sixteenth century, this lovely home is located in the Abbey Conservation Area in the heart of St Albans and offers a rare combination of period charm and convenient location. Presented in excellent order, the property has an unexpectedly spacious layout, and the front door opens into a large reception room with exposed timbers, parquet flooring and a pretty bay window to the front. There is plenty of space for both living and dining furniture and there is a brick fireplace with fitted gas stove.
Leading past a useful storage cupboard beneath the staircase, there is a contemporary ground floor bathroom with white suite and the bright kitchen is beyond to the rear. Well-planned with a good range of wall and base cupboards, the layout accommodates integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer and there is space for a table and chairs. A door to the rear gives access to the garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, it is positioned at the front of the house and is a large space with a low-silled window looking over Fishpool Street. As is the case throughout most of the cottage, the historic timber structure is visible, giving the room plenty of character and there is a good sized fitted wardrobe. The second bedroom at the rear is also able to accommodate a double bed and there is a separate WC accessed from the landing which, subject to the usual consents, could be enlarged to create a bath/shower room if required. The property has a pleasant rear garden with open aspect to the side. The space is hard landscaped with a number of mature plants and shrubs and there is a useful summer house to the rear and a separate gate providing side access.
