About this home

Positioned in a prime location on Lemsford Road, this impressive, detached family home occupies a generous wrap-around plot of approximately 0.25 acres, offering exceptional space, privacy and versatility. Set back from the road, the property combines substantial internal accommodation with excellent parking provision to the rear, alongside a separate garage.

The ground floor is designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. A welcoming hallway leads to a spacious living room with views over the garden and working fireplace, while a separate formal dining room provides an ideal setting for hosting. At the heart of the home lies a large kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully arranged and well connected to the rest of the living space, making it perfect for modern family living. A study/playroom offers flexibility for home working, hobbies or children’s space, complemented by a ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor offers an abundance of accommodation with five bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The generous principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by a family bathroom. Several rooms lend themselves easily to alternative uses such as guest rooms, home offices or dressing rooms, making the layout highly adaptable.

Externally, the wrap-around garden provides a wonderful sense of space and seclusion, ideal for outdoor entertaining, children’s play or further landscaping potential. Parking to the rear enhances both convenience and privacy, with the additional benefit of a detached garage for storage or secure parking.

Rarely does a home of this size and flexibility become available in such a sought-after St Albans location, within easy reach of the city centre, excellent schooling and transport links. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence with outstanding potential.

The property is set back on Lemsford Road and is in a central and convenient location. Fast rail links into central London are available from the mainline station just over half a mile away, and the extensive amenities of St Albans city centre are within walking distance along with Clarence Park and highly regarded schooling.
