Description
Jon-Paul Brampton presents.......Central Harpenden living with style, in this three bedroom 1930's family home in the ever popular Cowper Road.

If it is convenience, charm and a home in a road with a real sense of community that you are looking for, then this is the home for you. Located in Cowper Road, just a short stroll from the station and High Street, this stylishly finished property exudes the charm of its 1930's heritage whilst presenting a home fit for modern family life. Featuring key benefits such as off street parking and a garden studio it really has everything going for it.

The internal arrangement of accommodation is a great mix of separate rooms and open social spaces, giving it flexibility of use and longevity of ownership. As you enter the hallway there is a formal living room to the front, a brick surround open fireplace sits centre stage and provides a vision of cosy evenings by the fire in the winter months. In the centre of the home is a further reception room; a snug, study or playroom depending on your needs. Here a gas fire creates a focal point and original Crittal doors lead through to a large conservatory style extension which opens out onto the landscaped garden. A light filled space with vaulted ceilings that provides an ideal dining and entertaining area that wraps back around to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is charming in design, with pantry cupboard and original features mixed with every appliance one could need.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a stylishly refitted family bathroom. The main bedroom incorporates an ensuite with walk in shower, and a further feature fireplace. The feel here is charming, stripped wood flooring and a stylish landing area really showcase a space that would be a joy to live in and own.

Externally there is a gravel laid driveway to the front, with landscaped Yew hedging and a pair of Olive trees providing real kerb appeal and privacy. There is a wide side alleyway leading to the sublime rear garden. South Westerly facing and bountifully presented this outdoors space feels like a sanctuary. There is a large patio area immediately to the rear of the house, with a colourful and blooming array of plants and shrubs and a lawn area at the centre. Steps lead down to a large 3 x 5 metre garden studio. Fully insulated, double glazed, with power and ethernet. Boasting a treelined backdrop the feeling of peace and tranquility here is wonderful.

But please don't just take my word for it, browse the photos, watch the video tour (don't mock the presenter) and if you think this could be your next home then please get in touch to arrange a viewing.

Harpenden itself offers a tremendous lifestyle. Formerly a village this small, but now bustling town boasts a pleasant Victorian High Street and a Georgian centre. Famous for its 'common', a vast swathe of common land for all to enjoy with archetypal cricket club and golf course ( of which there are quite a few!). Or why not take a stroll through Rothamsted Park and end up at the White Horse for a delightful gastropub experience. There are a host of quality restaurants, including Lussman's, ZaZa's, and Bar Azita, as well as smaller independent cafe-style eateries like Parker & Vine and The Silver Palate. There is a Nero's and a Costa to fuel every caffeine requirement or why not go independent and check out Emilio's street food on the pedestrian concourse in front of the town library . Again there are public houses a plenty, my personal favourite being the Oddfellows Arms, just behind Leyton Green, offering a stylish but quirky interior and a luscious outdoor seating area.

Transport links here are superb with the Thameslink Station providing regular access to London St. Pancras in around 30 minutes. Given you can walk to the station platform in under 10 minutes that makes for a rare convenience to life. The M1 is a 5 minute drive and Luton Airport just 10 minutes away. So whether it is domestic or international travel you need this town has it all.

Schools are extremely well catered for with Ofsted 'Outstanding' primary and secondary schools alongside the renowned St Georges School and the private schools of St. Hilda's and Aldwickbury. What a place to live!

Nb. There are drawings available for a side and rear extension, although please note no planning permission exists at this time. But it does give you an idea of what is possible.
