Kay Walk, St. Albans

Winches Lodge is a beautiful family home located at the head of a peaceful cul-de-sac, featuring stunning part-brick and part-weatherboarded façades, with beautifully presented interiors. The main highlight is the impressive 26ft drawing room in a converted period barn adjacent to the house, showcasing elegant wooden parquet flooring and a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. The ground floor boasts a dual-aspect sitting room that a bay window, a convenient home office and a spacious kitchen and dining area brighten. This area includes modern wooden fitted units with integrated appliances and has French doors that lead out to the garden. An adjoining utility room provides extra storage space. On the first floor, there are five generously sized bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms feature built-in storage and en suite shower rooms, while the family bathroom offers a separate shower. The exterior is equally inviting, with a gravel driveway providing ample parking space and access to the detached carport and shed, accommodating two vehicles under cover. The front garden includes a lawn area and a paved pathway leading to the entrance. On one side, there is a south-facing patio garden with a storage shed, and on the other side is a further paved terrace, a lawn and border beds complete with hedgerow and fencing. Situated in a highly sought-after location, the property is conveniently close to the city centre, offering a variety of shopping, leisure and dining options. The nearby mainline station provides fast services to St Pancras International, reaching the City in just 19 minutes, as well as to Gatwick and beyond. Commuters also benefit from easy access to the M1, M25, A1(M), and major airports including Heathrow, Luton, and Stansted.
