A rare opportunity to acquire a detached Edwardian house just a 10 minute walk from both the town centre and the railway station with a garage and off street parking. Situated in one of St Albans most sought-after conservation areas, 200m from the stunning Watercress Nature Reserve, the River Ver and the Alban Way cycling trail. No upward chain

6 Cornwall Road is an immaculately presented, bay-fronted family home that has seen an extensive scheme of refurbishment, whilst still retaining a wealth of traditional character features, including original windows and doors, high ceilings, feature fireplaces, decorative mouldings, cornice, dado and picture rails and handsome original hardwood flooring throughout.

The property has flexibility for further expansion and comes with planning consent to allow for a significant 300 sq ft extension to the current kitchen into an open plan kitchen/ living space, an en-suite to the principal bedroom, conversion of the remaining garage into a fifth bedroom, study or living area with picture window and an increase to the size of the 2nd floor dormer window. There is also future potential to build on top of the garage STPP.

The airy entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor flows naturally onto the bright, front-facing sitting room, benefitting from the ornate bay window, a charming working fireplace and double doors opening out onto the adjacent family room, also with a feature fireplace and its own set of French doors onto the rear terrace.

The large, sociable, newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room has view through wide double doors across the lush gardens. The separate utility room with corresponding cabinetry, sink, storage and an adjacent w/c completes the floor. The first floor houses three of the properties’ four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including the sizeable principal suite, featuring a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes and a cast iron feature fireplace.

Outside

The front of the property is set back from the road with a section of lawn and lavender, a pathway to the private side access and a paved driveway. There is also additional on- street parking. The secluded rear garden comprises a paved terrace providing an indoor/outdoor living area and the perfect spot for al fresco dining in the sunshine. There is a large section of manicured level lawn, flanked on either side by well-stocked herbaceous and colourful borders, as well as a good sized garden shed and several mature and established trees to the rear providing dappled shade.

Situation

The property is within very easy reach of the mainline station with its fast through services via St Pancras International to the City (19 mins) Gatwick and beyond. Around the corner from the house is a very popular art deco cinema. The City Centre with its wealth of amenities including shopping, leisure activities and excellent state and public schools is close at hand, as are the green spaces at Clarence Park, The Wick, Bernards Heath and Verulamium Park.

Directions

From Strutt and Parkers St. Albans office, head south-east on London Road (A1081), over the roundabout and turn right onto Approach Road after half a mile. Continue onto Cornwall Road, where the property will be on the left-hand side.
