Location
The property is situated just to the west of Harpenden in the village of Flamstead, where local amenities include a convenience store, a public house, a village school and hall, and a parish church. With its thriving High Street, nearby Harpenden offers a comprehensive range of shopping facilities, including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and a Marks and Spencer store, as well as an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and independent shops. The town is home to several outstanding state schools, with independent schools nearby including Beechwood Park, St. Albans High School and Boys School and Aldwickbury Prep School.

Outside
A gravelled driveway leads to the front of the home, providing parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the detached double garage. The total plot is nearly 0.8 acre, and backing onto woodland offers a particularly private plot.

The rear garden also benefits from the seclusion afforded by mature trees at the boundaries and is mainly laid to lawn offering a vast soft-surface for children’s play. A gravelled route extends to the garden house, in the corner of the plot, and forms a surround for ease of access and a spot to sit. A raised paved terrace, with curved wall features, spans the rear of the house offering opportunities for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxation, whilst a pretty summer house provides a sheltered setting to enjoy the garden.
