Approach Road, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

The Property:

A stunning four/five bedroom period home in a superb central location, just minutes from St Albans City Station and close to the city centre. Much improved by the current owners, it is presented in immaculate condition throughout and has the considerable advantage of a garage and private off-street parking space.

Description:

This handsome semi-detached home has been completely refurbished during the course of the current owners occupation and it is beautifully presented throughout with a contemporary style which complements its period features. With an impressive, elevated position on Approach Road, the house is reached by steps up through established planted beds leading to a wide front door with attractive stained glass panels. The ground floor layout offers a good flexibility of use, with the bright entrance hall giving access to a spacious sitting room with a bay window to the front and a lovely, large open-plan room to the rear. Occupying the full width of the house, this bright dual aspect space accommodates the well planned kitchen and island, as well as allowing plenty of room for living and dining furniture and it has two sets of glazed doors to the garden.
The first floor landing is generously proportioned
and leads on one side to two bright double bedrooms to the rear of the house, which have a shower room adjacent and on the other, to two further bedrooms, one of which is currently in use as a study. The main family bathroom is an excellent size and has a feature freestanding bath and two wash basins. A conversion of the loft space has created a wonderful suite on the top floor with a bedroom to one side and a good sized shower room to the other. The configuration of space on this level would allow it to serve a number of functions, and space in the eaves provides useful additional storage.
The rear garden enjoys an unexpected level of privacy given the central location of the house, with mature hedges to the rear and sides. There is a paved seating area close to the house and steps up to a lawn. The width of the plot gives a good amount of space to the side of the house, with a path leading to the front. The property has a detached garage, reached via Old London Road, and a further parking space is available in front of it. Direct access to the property through its rear garden is available by steps and a gate to the side.

Council Tax: Band: F £3,112.94 (2024/2025)
