Old Vicarage Gardens, Markyate, St. Albans, Hertfordshire

The Property:

Spacious three bedroom semi-detached home, located close to amenities in this popular Hertfordshire village.

Description:

This excellent village home has been extended into the garage to offer extra living/office space and benefits from off-street parking and a good-sized rear garden. The property has further potential to extend to the rear (subject to planning).

An entrance porch leads into a large living room with feature fireplace which is open plan into a further dining/seating area, which overlooks the rear garden. A modern fitted kitchen sits just off and is fitted with a stylish range of units with built-in double oven and hob and space for appliances. The former garage has been converted into an additional room, which is currently used as a music room but would be ideal for home working as it has its own entrance but can be also be accessed from the main house.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the two larger bedrooms both have built-in storage. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a driveway to one side, providing off-street parking. The generous rear garden is fully fenced with large lawn and mature shrubs and trees (including an apple tree).

VENDORS COMMENT
"Our experience during the 8 years we've lived here:
Lovely neighbours up and down the street, including a young family like ours and others who've lived here happily for many years. A real community feel across all ages. One neighbour has allotments and sometimes leaves gifts of veg on doorsteps. Quiet road and feels safe as it's a cul de sac. Also feels more secure as the back garden is bounded on all sides by other gardens. Very easy walk to the shops, park and school and lovely countryside nearby (we're right on the edge of the Chilterns Area of natural beauty). We are moving to find the right education for our Deaf child and will be sad to leave this village that has worked very well for us."
