The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming gable end reception hall with useful cloakroom. It comprises a bright sitting room with feature front aspect bow window and exposed brick open fireplace and a generous dining room with feature bay window, ideal for family meals, and an inter-connecting galley kitchen with a range of wall and base units, wooden worktops, a Belfast sink, modern integrated appliances and a door to the terrace.

Outside
Nestled behind mature hedging that ensures a sense of privacy and offering considerable kerb appeal, this distinguished property is approached via a gable end pedestrian gate. A path leads to the storm porch and continues into the welcoming reception hall. Additionally, there is a five-bar gate that opens onto a paved rear driveway, providing private parking and granting access to a detached double garage. The front and rear garden is primarily laid to level lawn, offering an expanse of green space. The rear garden is further enhanced by a tranquil garden pond, elegantly flanked by a paved terrace. Furthermore, there is a raised wraparound paved terrace that is accessible directly from the kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and al fresco dining. This space allows for the enjoyment of picturesque views towards Harpenden Common at the front aspect and the Harpenden Common Golf Club at the rear.
