***Foxhall Estate Agents*** are delighted to offer for sale this extensive detached family house with huge potential to extend further set back from the road in 0.27 acre plot in highly desired location.
The property comprises of kitchen / breakfast room, lounge, dining room / utility room, office and playroom. Large entrance hallway. The stairs have recently been replaced and re-positioned to enable a cloakroom W.C. to be created. The plumbing has been done and the W.C. and sink obtained however this still needs to be installed. There is also a conservatory leading out to the rear garden, handy porch and lovely original details retained such as ceiling roses and the large solid original front door.
To the upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, the largest two have en-suite showers. There is also a family bathroom and a separate W.C. Works had been started to prepare for a double storey extension to create an extra two or three bedrooms however for now those works will remain as is allowing new owners to have the property extended to fit their dreams and aspirations.
Summary Continued - To the outside the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a large sweeping driveway with plenty of space to park multiple vehicles of different sizes. There is access to the rear garden at the side of the property and also access to the brick garage and gym / summerhouse.
The brick garage has been altered inside currently as an office / gym with electrics, lights, inset speakers, shower room and storage cupboard, however also has a kitchenette and pull down ladder to access the room above which has been used as a bedroom and is fully plastered, has electric heating and Velux windows. Therefore this building could be converted back easily to an annex with lounge / kitchenette, shower room and upstairs bedroom. It also could be converted right back to a garage with storage upstairs. It really is very versatile to enable new owners to utilise how best fits their family use.
Together with the former garage is another building which is currently being used as a gym and this has power, lighting and speakers. It could potentially be used as storage / cinema room / games room or have a couple of doors inserted at the rear or side to enable it to be opened up for use in the rear garden as a summerhouse.
The rear garden is very large and could withstand a large extension on the rear of the property and still be large enough. In addition to this there is a side garden which stretches away at the end of the garden. This is secluded so could be suitable for a sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, etc if required.
Situated unusually in both the highly sought after Northgate High and Copleston High and also Rushmere Heath Primary School catchment area and walking distance to St Albans Catholic High School. In a desirable non-estate position, this makes the location of this home ideal for a family with children.
