5 bed detached house for sale

Coopers Green Lane, St. Albans AL4

Situated among open countryside on the favourable eastern edge of St Albans, Oak House is a magnificent Edwardian property which has been extensively improved and extended to create a fabulously spacious and well appointed home. The property is ideal for the London commuter wanting a country setting, being a short distance from the A1(M) and with a mainline station within three miles yet enjoying a distinctly rural feel with views over surrounding farmland and excellent country walks on the doorstep and nearby at Heartwood Forest and Ellenbrook Fields. In recent years the house has received a full programme of renovations including full cosmetic redecoration, the construction of new pool house, a new water filtration system, boiler, kitchen with bespoke Green Heart cabinetry and an aga and updated flooring.

Outside

Oak House is set within wonderfully well-established gardens of 1.1 acres, which are well enclosed by mature trees and hedging. An imposing gated driveway opens to a long drive, which leads up to the house and a carriageway driveway. The gravel parking area extends along the side of the house where there is further parking and access to a detached triple garage with two stores. The majority of the garden is situated to the rear, comprising mostly level lawns, a large paved terrace and an outdoor swimming pool with its adjoining pool house/garden office. The garden also features a vegetable plot with raised beds and a greenhouse.
