This smart, comfortable detached family home is set in a desirable position less than a mile from St. Albans city centre. With well-presented accommodation and a beautiful garden, the property is an attractive prospect in an extremely popular and convenient setting.

There are three comfortable reception rooms on the ground floor, along with the pleasant open-plan living space of the drawing area, breakfast area and kitchen to the rear. The sitting room, dining room and family room all provide splendid space in which to relax, with large windows welcoming plenty of natural light. The drawing area at the rear has a dual aspect with sliding glass doors and French doors opening onto the rear garden, while the kitchen has white units to base and wall level, along with integrated appliances. From the kitchen there is a useful utility area with a large larder store and a generous cloakroom. The property also benefits from a home office, which overlooks the garden.

The first floor has four double bedrooms of similar proportions, all of which benefit from fitted storage. The principal bedroom has doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear garden, as well as an en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the house with paved terracing and pathways, numerous trees, colourful, beautifully maintained shrubs and a large area of lawn. The garden also benefits from a storage shed and high border hedgerows.
