3 bed terraced house for sale

Holywell Hill, St Albans AL1

Located in one of St. Albans’ most desirable areas and dating from c1590, Pickwick House is one of the oldest properties in the city and combines the unique historic charm of a character property with the convenience of a central location in the heart of the Conservation Area.

Set back from the pavement, stone steps lead up to the front door which opens into the entrance hall, and this gives access to a lovely reception room at the front of the house with a high ceiling, a large, low-silled sash window and brick feature fireplace. Leading past the stairs, there is a beautiful open-plan room with slate flooring and underfloor heating which serves both as a further reception space and kitchen. The kitchen is designed to complement the character of the property with high quality free-standing oak storage cupboards, and it incorporates an electric aga and a traditional Butler Sink. Stairs from this room lead down to a spacious basement which is fully tanked and currently serves as a third bedroom.

Upstairs, there is a stunning principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, open to the roof and with beautiful, exposed timbers. The second bedroom has similar architectural features and is a charming space with a useful mezzanine currently set up as a study, with access to the loft. The bathroom suite is accessed off the landing and benefits include a stylish clawfoot free-standing bath and walk-in shower.

The pretty rear garden faces west and is accessed from the kitchen. It is a lovely space in which to relax, stepped up from the house to make the most of the sun and with historic flint walls.

The property is in one of the best locations in St Albans, with all of the city’s amenities on the doorstep and within walking distance of several highly regarded schools. The Abbey, Verulamium Park and Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre are close by and the mainline station is less than a mile away, providing fast rail links into central London.
