Description
Set in a truly special semi-rural position adjoining The Centurion Golf Club, this four bedroom Grade II Listed character home offers the perfect balance of countryside calm and city convenience. You feel wonderfully tucked away, yet you’re only a short drive from St Albans, with its vibrant mix of independent shops, restaurants, cafés and bars.
Weekends could be spent strolling around Verulamium Park, enjoying the lakeside walks and open green space, or exploring the surrounding countryside with its bridleways, golf courses and leisure facilities. Families are well catered for with the property being in the priority area for an excellent choice of highly regarded state and private schools nearby. For commuters, St Albans City railway station provides a fast, direct link into London St Pancras and onwards to the City, making this an ideal base for both work and home life.
The house itself is beautifully presented and full of charm. Exposed beams, feature fireplaces and character details blend effortlessly with modern comforts. A welcoming tiled entrance hall leads into a stylish fitted kitchen with space for dining, finished with high quality units and integrated appliances, perfect for everyday family life as well as hosting friends.
There is a formal dining room with an attractive fireplace for more intimate gatherings, while the generous living room with its log burner is a real highlight, offering a cosy yet sociable space to relax and entertain. A further sitting room, ideal as a home office, features an exposed brick wall adding to the home’s character. A cloakroom and useful cellar complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, four well proportioned bedrooms showcase more beams and character features, some with impressive ceiling heights. The refitted family bathroom is a lovely retreat, with a freestanding bath and separate shower.
Outside, the rear garden feels wonderfully private and established. A large sun terrace and water feature create the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer evenings with friends. The lawn is framed by mature trees and shrubs, while a powered home office and additional outbuildings offer flexibility for modern living. To the front, a five bar gate opens onto a generous gravel driveway with ample parking and a carport.
