42 Stephens Court, Station Road, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5

TOP-FLOOR CALM AND CONTEMPORARY CHARACTER

Light, calm and quietly elevated, 42 Stephens Court feels like a private retreat above it all. Built around twelve years ago, this top-floor, end-of-block apartment enjoys dual-aspect windows, a leafy outlook and well-proportioned rooms filled with natural light. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully cared for, it offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, lift and stair access and an impressive 137-year lease. Within this secure gated development, just moments from Batford Springs and close to Harpenden's vibrant town centre, it's a home that combines privacy, connection and modern comfort.

AN OPEN PLAN THAT FEELS ELEVATED

The open-plan living and dining space sits at the centre of the home, airy, inviting and full of light from both the balcony doors and the extra side windows unique to its end-of-block position. The result is a room that feels generous yet calm, with ample space for a dining area and a sense of separation between living and kitchen zones.

"It's a bright, happy room - the light just lifts your mood."

The kitchen sits naturally to the rear, finished in a light palette with pale wood cabinetry and dark stone-style worktops. Integrated appliances, generous storage and a clean, functional design make it as practical as it is stylish.

"It's easy to use, well planned and always feels tidy - everything has its place."

French doors open to a private balcony, offering a lovely spot to enjoy the evening air or a coffee to start the day - the perfect balance of elevation and calm.

BEDROOMS WITH CHARACTER AND CALM

The principal bedroom feels peaceful and characterful, shaped by gentle roofline angles that add warmth and individuality. It includes an en-suite shower room, while the second double bedroom sits beside a modern bathroom with full bath, basin and fitted cabinetry.
Both bedrooms enjoy a bright, comfortable atmosphere and flexibility for guests, home working or even a compact gym.

"We loved how calm it felt up here."

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Everyday comfort is built into the layout. A large internal storage cupboard provides space for a washer/dryer or additional household items, ensuring the apartment remains uncluttered and easy to live in. There is lift and stair access to all floors and an allocated parking space within the secure, gated development.

SECURE, CONVENIENT AND WELL CONNECTED

Stephens Court is a secure, gated development with allocated parking within the grounds, lift and stair access to all floors and well-kept communal areas. Built around twelve years ago, it's appreciated for its sense of community and ease of maintenance.

The location offers the best of both worlds, nature and connection. Batford Springs Nature Reserve and the River Lea are just a short stroll away, while Harpenden's town centre, shops, cafes and restaurants are close enough for everyday convenience. Fast rail links reach London St Pancras in under 30 minutes, and the M1 provides quick access to the wider region.

"It's such a convenient location, but it never feels busy. You have everything close by, yet there's space to breathe."
