5 bedroom detached house to rent

A charming and thoughtfully converted Grade II listed five-bedroom home, formerly the Blue Anchor pub, blending character and modern living in the heart of St Albans.

Description

Blue Anchor House has its origins in the 16th century and in the late 19th century it was owned by a well-known Hertfordshire brewery. In 2015, the Blue Anchor finally ‘called time’. The property we now see is a rather special residential conversion, very much in character, on a generous plot with river frontage.

This beautiful, contemporary conversion, is situated in the highly sought after conservation area of Fishpool Street, St Albans. Combining period charm with modern comforts over approximately 3,200 sq ft.

Upon entering, the welcoming hallway immediately showcases the property's character, with exposed beams and feature fireplace, leading to four versatile reception rooms: a spacious formal sitting room perfect for relaxing, dining room for entertaining, a delightful breakfast room flooded with natural light, and a cosy study ideal for home working. The bespoke kitchen is complete with an island/ breakfast bar and high end integrated appliances, utility room and downstairs cloakroom for added convenience.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom features a dressing room along with a luxury four piece en-suite with both a bath and shower. Three further well proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

A versatile loft room on the second floor offers additional space, perfect for a guest bedroom or home office with eaves storage.

Externally, the property enjoys a low-maintenance landscaped garden, providing a peaceful retreat that backs onto the River Ver. The property boasts ample off-street parking and a generously sized garden store/ outbuilding for further storage.
