House For Sale £1,700,000
Detached home on an enviable plot in West Common
The Property
Located in the heart of West Common this impressive family home occupies a generous plot presenting huge scope for further development.
Set back from the treelined road this spacious home boasts impressive frontage, with a large driveway and front lawn. Entering initially into a porch, and then in to the large light filled main entrance hall, there is a downstairs WC and shower room. There is an abundance of living and reception space here, with the rooms currently arranged as dual aspect family room to the front of the house. A large main living room, again dual aspect, to the rear with feature fireplace. Adjacent is a separate formal dining room. There is a good size and well appointed kitchen/breakfast room which benefits from space for a table and chairs and direct access to a utility room. This layout presents obvious scope to redesign the layout and create a modern open plan space, quite simply.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms. The main bedroom is expansive and boasts a separate dressing room and ensuite, A further family bathroom services the other bedrooms, but again scope exists to add additional bathrooms without extending the property.
Externally the home benefits from a simply wonderful plot. Approximately 80 metres in depth front to back, with the house sitting in the middle of the plot. With a mature backdrop providing privacy this home really has a feeling of space around it. There is also a large driveway and double garage.
Whilst already boasting nearly 3000 sq ft of internal space, the property clearly has potential to extend, remodel and redesign as many other properties in the vicinity have already done. A wonderful opportunity for someone to put their stamp and design on a truly fantastic home.
Location
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.
West Common is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Town centre. It is a particularly upmarket area of town and comprises mainly large detached properties on impressive plots.
Transport links here are superb with the Thameslink Station providing regular access to London St. Pancras in around 30 minutes. The M1 is a 10 minute drive and Luton Airport just 15 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 schools such as Crabtree, and secondary schools Sir John Lawes and kws, alongside the renowned St Georges School and the private schools of St. Hilda's and Aldwickbury. What a place to live!
