Description

Situated on the highly regarded Lancaster Road, within easy reach of St Albans city centre and its excellent transport connections, this substantial detached family home presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.

The property extends to approximately 1,906 sq ft (177.1 sq m), including the integral garage, and offers generous and versatile living space, four bedrooms, an impressive mature rear garden and ample off-street parking.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a welcoming entrance hallway leading to a spacious, bay-fronted sitting room extending to approximately 24 ft in length. Featuring a fireplace and attractive bay window, this generously proportioned room provides excellent space for both everyday family living and entertaining. Hardwood flooring extends across much of the ground floor.

To the rear, a separate dining room enjoys views over the garden, with sliding doors providing direct access to the patio and allowing natural light to fill the room.

The kitchen/breakfast room features bespoke Italian gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, together with the additional comfort of underfloor heating. There is ample space for informal dining, with direct access to the rear garden. Bi-fold doors connect the kitchen to an adjoining snug/TV area, which overlooks the garden and benefits from air conditioning, providing a comfortable and versatile additional living space.

A guest cloakroom and integral garage provide further practicality.

The first floor offers four bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which benefits from an en-suite shower room and air conditioning. Two of the further bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, while the fourth is currently arranged as a study, offering flexibility for those working from home or requiring additional bedroom accommodation. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

One of the property's particular attractions is its substantial, mature rear garden, extending to approximately 86 ft. Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established trees, shrubs and planting, the garden provides a peaceful and attractive setting, with considerable scope for further landscaping.

A generous paved terrace adjoining the house is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while an additional patio area with a timber pergola provides a further seating space. A garden shed offers useful storage, and side access connects the front and rear of the property.

To the front, a substantial block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles, in addition to the integral garage, which benefits from useful storage space. An EV charging point adds further convenience.

Whilst offering excellent scope for updating and modernisation, the property already incorporates a number of practical features, including air conditioning in selected rooms, underfloor heating in the kitchen, hardwood flooring and EV charging. It presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to refurbish and personalise the accommodation to suit contemporary family living, subject to any necessary consents.

Lancaster Road is a popular and established residential address, conveniently positioned for St Albans city centre, with its excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. St Albans City station provides convenient Thameslink connections into central London, including London St Pancras International, while the surrounding area offers a wide choice of highly regarded state and independent schools.

The nearby green spaces of Clarence Park, The Wick and Verulamium Park provide excellent opportunities for walking and recreation, while convenient access to the M1, M25 and A1(M) makes the location equally attractive for those travelling by road.

With its generous accommodation, substantial mature garden, desirable location and considerable potential for improvement, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a detached family home in one of St Albans' most sought-after residential areas.
