Description

A much-loved detached family home in the sought-after area of West Common, with expansive mature gardens and far-reaching countryside views.

The house has been in the same ownership since it was constructed some 40 years ago and has been well maintained. It presents a fantastic opportunity for development.

Over the years the property has been well maintained and has received a number of improvements, including a side extension. The interiors have charm and character, such as an impressive stone fireplace and exposed brick detailing. The accommodation is light filled and spacious, providing ample space for families. Downstairs, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a dual aspect sitting room leading out to the garden; a study; a formal dining room, also with garden access; and a kitchen and breakfast room with adjoining utility room. To the side of the house there is a further reception room which makes an excellent space for relaxing as a family. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a good size and leads to a dressing room and en suite bathroom. The three remaining bedrooms are all double size and share a family bath and shower room.

Tucked away on a quiet and leafy residential street, the house is well placed for enjoying access to the local network of footpaths and bridleways, perfect for dog walking, which lead to neighbouring villages. To the rear, the southwest-facing garden is bordered by open countryside, over which there are magnificent far-reaching views. Mature trees, hedges and flowerbeds around the boundary provide a high degree of privacy and an inviting feel, while the expansive lawn is bounded by a large paved terrace adjoining the house. To the front, a carriageway driveway affords ample off-street parking and access to an attached garage.

Harpenden has a thriving High Street and comprehensive range of shopping facilities, including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and a Marks and Spencer store. It boasts an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and numerous independent shops. The town is home to several outstanding state schools as well as independent schools, with further options accessible in nearby St Albans or Hemel Hempstead. Good sporting and leisure facilities include a sports centre with indoor swimming pool, rugby, tennis, bowling and cricket clubs, together with three golf courses. Cycling, riding and walking can be enjoyed in the Woodland Trust’s Heartwood Forest and Rothamsted Estate.
