Barnfield Road, Harpenden, AL5

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this charming three-bedroom detached home, occupying a prominent corner plot in one of Harpenden’s most desirable residential locations, and offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years.

The property provides well-balanced and versatile accommodation, including a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility area, and a generous extended family room enjoying views over the garden. To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally, the home is complemented by mature, established gardens to the front and rear, off-street parking, and a detached garage with an adjoining office, ideal for home working or additional storage.

Whilst the property has been lovingly maintained over the years, it now offers exceptional scope for extension, reconfiguration, and modernisation (subject to the necessary planning consents). The size and positioning of the plot, combined with the existing footprint, present a superb opportunity to create a substantial and bespoke family home tailored to individual requirements — a true blank canvas in a prime setting.

Conveniently located within easy reach of Harpenden town centre, mainline station, and excellent local schooling, this is a unique chance to secure a home with significant long-term potential in a highly regarded area.

Please note a portion of the garden has been sold off to the rear and planning permission has been applied for and pending for a separate dwelling with vehicular access, this land has been fenced off and can be seen clearly in the photographs.

Barnfield Road is a wonderful central location presenting a characterful range of houses from all the epochs of Harpenden's development. The location is ideally located close to both the renowned Crabtree and The Grove JMI schools and is just a short walk from both St Georges and Sir John Lawes secondary schools. Harpenden's Victorian tree-lined town centre is within a short walk and presents a fine array of boutique shops, restaurants and leisure facilities and the station provides direct access to central London within 30 minutes. Southdown's amenities are even closer and the glorious open spaces of Harpenden Common are within a short stroll of the house.
