West Common, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5

Elegant and spacious converted apartment in a premier Harpenden location

Description

The Spinney is a small select development comprising four generous and sophisticated apartments, converted from a imposing period house. The property extends to about 1270 sq ft and is laid out over half of the first floor of the building, with the benefit of its own front door and staircase. This elegant apartment would make a lovely home for a professional couple, those wishing to downsize and enjoy single storey living on a grand scale or indeed those requiring a perfect lock up and leave.

The location of the apartment is superb, conveniently set between Harpenden Common and Rothamsted Park, approximately 0.7 miles walk from Harpenden Station or the High Street. The development has gated vehicular access to an imposing forecourt where the property has use of two exclusive parking spaces and additional visitor parking. To the rear of the house lies well maintained landscaped communal garden to sit out and enjoy.

A private entrance door on the ground floor gives access to a lobby with a utility cupboard and an impressive turning staircase to first floor. The first floor landing includes an open plan seating area that could be closed off to provide an additional and separate room, but presently assists in creating a gracious and welcoming space on arrival. The elegant sitting room overlooks the gardens from dual aspect windows and has space for a dining room table and a feature fireplace. The well planned kitchen has Miele integrated appliances and breakfast bar. There are two large double bedrooms, one with an en suite wet room and there is a family bathroom with roll top bath with rain water shower over. The property also has the benefit of a substantial private loft space for additional storage.
