3 bed detached house for sale

Spencer Gate, St. Albans AL1

Tucked away in a quiet and highly sought after cul de sac, this attractive detached period family home enjoys a wonderful position backing directly onto Bernards Heath Woodland. It is easy to picture relaxed weekends here, stepping straight out for woodland walks, wandering down to the open green space at Bernard’s Heath, or popping into the local coffee shop. The property also falls within the priority area for popular local schools, making it a great choice for families.

Despite the peaceful setting, St Albans City Centre is close at hand, offering a great mix of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities. The mainline station is also within easy reach, providing direct links into London and making commuting straightforward.

Offered chain free and rarely available, the house now needs some care and imagination, but this brings with it fantastic potential to extend and improve, subject to the usual planning permissions. The existing accommodation is already generous and filled with natural light. You are welcomed into an entrance hall which leads through to a large dual aspect living room, perfect for family time. There is also a separate dining room and a kitchen breakfast room that opens onto the rear garden, along with a ground floor WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all accessed from the landing.

Outside, the front garden adds to the home’s kerb appeal, while side access leads to a mature and impressively sized rear garden that opens directly onto the woodland, creating a lovely sense of privacy and greenery. Parking and a garage complete the picture.

A home with real character, space and potential, set in a location that is hard to beat.
