The property The stylish property incorporates upgraded décor with the original charm of the Edwardian era, including a stained-glass front door with matching fanlight, period fireplaces, picture rails and tall sliding sash windows. The lofty ceilings are made to feel even taller by the ornate cornicing, with the main reception rooms – a well-proportioned sitting room and separate family room – offering fantastic natural light and a feeling of space. At the back of the house, a contemporary extension adds a new dimension to the house, with elegant, grey-painted cabinetry and wood floors. A relaxed family area is warmed by a wood-burning stove and leads to the garden via a set of sliding doors, with a utility room tucked away unobtrusively, providing space for laundry machines. The first floor comprises a generous principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, two further double bedrooms with storage and original fireplaces, and a family bathroom with bath, shower room and underfloor heating. There are two final bedrooms on the top floor, plus a shower room and ample eaves storage.

Outside The handsome property is situated in the ever-popular ‘Poets’ conservation area of Harpenden, on an attractive road lined with similar period houses. To the front, the red-brick property is approached over a gravel driveway with space for one car; further parking is available on Spenser Road with a permit (Zone 1). The rear garden has been skilfully landscaped to create a relaxing space which serves both family time and entertaining, with a large, paved terrace adjoining the house and leading onto a spacious lawn enclosed by wooden panel fencing and beautifully thought-out borders of various shrubs and bedding plants. A wooden shed provides garden storage.
