Stonecross, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

Jon-Paul Brampton presents...period charm and potential in the heart of St. Albans

The property

Dating to back to the 1840's this Victorian home has spent the last 35 years operating as a successful commercial  business centre. Having now received official permission to return it back to its original use, that of a residential home, we find a property that oozes kerb appeal and offers the chance for a buyer to truly restore it back to its former glory and enjoy the lifestyle of central St. Albans living. 

This charming home is set moments from desirable local schooling and the wonderful green space of Bernards Heath, whilst being just a short walk from the centre of St. Albans and the mainline station. Whilst the property does require investment and refurbishment, it does offer a buyer the chance to create a stunning period home to their own taste and standards.  Currently arranged as large living room to the front, with an adjacent separate dining room. To the rear is a kitchen, with views to the rear, and two WC's. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, the smallest of which having previously been used as the bathroom, and for which plumbing should still be in situ.

Externally there is a good size private courtyard to the rear with access onto a rear alleyway. 

If you are looking for a project in this beautiful historic Cathedral City then this could be the property for you. Please browse the photos, watch the video tour and get in touch to enquire and arrange a viewing,
