Overview
A four-bedroom family home in a sought-after residential road, within easy reach of the town centre and well-regarded local schools.
Situated in a popular area, this attractive home has been extended and modernised to create well-proportioned accommodation suited to everyday family life. Dating from the 1930s, the house was extended in 2004, adding valuable space across both floors.
The ground floor is entered via a welcoming entrance hall and includes a good-sized family room with a traditional fireplace, a snug with a south-facing bay window and a spacious kitchen with bifold doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen features painted Shaker-style cabinetry, an island for casual dining and a range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and Smeg seven-burner range cooker with extractor. It flows into the sitting/dining room, a generous dual-aspect space filled with natural light from a large window and Velux windows. A door from the kitchen leads to the integral garage, while a useful utility room provides space for laundry appliances and access to the garden. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the light-filled principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows. There are three further bedrooms. The remaining bedrooms are served by a smart contemporary shower room.
Outside
To the front, the semi-detached house has a traditional part-rendered façade with a characterful gable and painted timber detailing. It is set back behind a gravel driveway, with a lawn and mature shrubs adding privacy and softness. The integral garage provides useful storage.
The fully enclosed rear garden is framed by mature shrubs and trees, creating a particularly leafy and secluded setting. Well-planted borders bring colour and interest throughout the year, while a patio adjoining the house provides a sheltered space for al fresco dining. At the far end, a further landscaped area offers a relaxed spot for seating.
Situation
Dalkeith Road is conveniently situated within half a mile of Harpenden Station, Crabtree Junior School and High Beeches Primary School, while the town’s thriving High Street is also close by. Harpenden has a thriving High Street and comprehensive range of shopping facilities, including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and a Marks and Spencer store. It boasts an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and numerous independent shops. The town is home to several other outstanding state schools as well as independent schools, with further options accessible in nearby St Albans or Hemel Hempstead. Good sporting and leisure facilities include a sports centre with indoor swimming pool, rugby, tennis, bowling and cricket clubs, together with three golf courses. Cycling, riding and walking can be enjoyed in the Woodland Trust’s Heartwood Forest and Rothamsted Estate.
