201 Luton Road, Harpenden, AL5 3DD

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold site extending to approximately 1.30 acres (0.52 hectares) in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable and supply‑constrained residential markets, offering potential for continued C2 use or residential redevelopment, subject to planning.

The property comprises a former care home positioned on a broadly rectangular site with frontage to Luton Road. The site extends to approximately 1.295 acres and is accessed via Roundwood Lane. The upper parts of the site are generally level, with a change in level toward the northeastern boundary.

The main building is arranged in a combination of single and two‑storey elements configured in an L‑shape and occupying the central portion of the site. The building is of traditional brick construction and reflects its former institutional use.

A detached two‑storey ancillary building is located toward the northeastern end of the site, historically used as offices and storage/garaging. The site also benefits from mature landscaping, car parking areas and ancillary circulation space. The property is currently vacant.

Harpenden is an affluent and highly sought‑after market town located within the St Albans City & District, approximately 25 miles north of Central London. The town benefits from excellent transport links, highly regarded schools and a strong residential catchment, all of which underpin consistently robust residential values.

The property is situated on the northern side of Harpenden, approximately 1 mile from the town centre, within a well‑established residential area. Luton Road is a principal route connecting Harpenden with Luton and provides convenient access to the wider road network, including the A1081, A505 and M1 (Junction 10).

Harpenden railway station lies approximately 1.3 miles to the south, providing direct services to London St Pancras International, Luton Airport Parkway and destinations further north.

The property is offered for sale freehold, with vacant possession. The disposal is expected to be structured by way of an informal tender process.

Further information, including access to a data room, will be made available to interested parties upon request.

Price upon application.

The site falls within the administrative area of St Albans City & District Council and is located within an established residential area under the adopted Local Plan. The lawful planning use is understood to be C2 (Residential Institution).

The site is not subject to any specific allocation or protective designation and lies outside the Harpenden Conservation Area. Any redevelopment proposals would be assessed against adopted and emerging local planning policies, including those relating to design, scale, residential amenity, access, parking and sustainability. Given the surrounding residential context, alternative uses such as C3 residential are likely to be considered in principle, subject to planning.
