5 bed detached house for sale

Hill Street, St. Albans AL3

A substantial five bedroom detached Victorian family home situated in a unique and desirable private setting. We understand that the property was originally built for the builders own occupation and has spacious accommodation arranged over four floors. Externally, there is a lovely rear garden and a detached brick-built garage.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway which leads to a quiet, tucked away position, surrounded by gardens. We understand that the house dates back to the early Victorian period and although it has been systematically modernised, many of the character features have been retained. The property benefits from well presented and spacious accommodation which is light and airy. This is enhanced by high ceilings, large windows and a favourable South orientation.
Hill Street is ideally located approximately half a mile from St Albans City Centre and approximately one mile from the City Railway Station. The Cathedral, Verulamium and Victoria Playing Fields are within close proximity. Excellent schooling is also available with St Michaels and St Albans Boys Schools nearby.
