4 bed property for sale

City Centre, St. Albans AL1

Oak Tree Gardens is an exclusive collection of just ten townhomes, set behind electric gates in the heart of St Albans city centre, within easy walking distance of a wide range of shops, restaurants, amenities and transport links. This particular home is one of the largest properties within the development and is especially distinctive, forming part of the original Victorian Museum building, which was sensitively transformed into a collection of individual residences. The property retains a wonderful sense of character, with high ceilings, generous proportions and striking large arched windows. One of the home's most impressive features is the kitchen and adjoining lounge, where the beautiful arched windows extend upwards to the mezzanine level overlooking the kitchen and private garden. This creates a wonderful sense of space and allows natural light to flow throughout the heart of the home. The entrance level features a spacious kitchen with a central island and doors opening onto the private courtyard garden, providing an ideal setting for entertaining and al fresco dining. There is also a utility room, cloakroom and study on this level. The upper floors offer four generous double bedrooms, including two en-suites, a family bathroom and an elegant drawing room. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling window, with glazed doors opening directly onto a private balcony. Further benefits include underfloor heating throughout all levels, a private driveway and the property being offered chain free. The development is accessed through secure electric gates, providing a private and peaceful setting despite its central location. The nearby vibrant city centre offers an excellent mix of independent boutiques, specialist retailers, major stores, international brands, cafés and restaurants, as well as the popular weekly market.
