4 bed end terrace house for sale

Noke Shot, Harpenden AL5

A traditional family home with huge potential to improve, set on a generous plot with gardens, a driveway and a double garage and in a location near popular schools, the bustling high street and the mainline station.

The Property

This end-terrace home has all the right elements for a family: Ample living space, a large kitchen/breakfast and four double bedrooms. If you’re searching for somewhere to make your own, this property is perfect. Let out for the last eight years, it also appeals to landlords looking to increase their portfolio, as well as investors and developers with the vision to add value.

The ground floor accommodation consists of both open and separate spaces, all branching off from the hall. Real wood flooring continues from the hall into the two reception rooms, while the kitchen and porch floors are tiled.

The primary reception room is where residents will likely congregate. There’s plenty of space for comfy seating, plus capacity for a table for family meals together. Although laid out as living and dining areas, you could have one side for sofas, the other as a play area for little ones. The second reception room is currently being used as a fifth bedroom, but would make sense as a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast is particularly large. It’s fitted in wood-effect storage and laminate surfacing, with an inset composite sink and space for all the appliances you’ll need. The room could be reconfigured to incorporate an island for casual seating and additional storage and surfacing. The kitchen and adjoining utility/boot room both have doors onto the garden. The utility also has a door into the garage for easy access to whatever you’re storing in there.

Storage elsewhere in the home includes an understairs cupboard in the hall, a pantry cupboard in the kitchen, an airing cupboard on the landing, a cupboard in the primary bedroom, and a loft via hatch from the landing.

Upstairs, each bedroom is a good size. The primary is especially spacious, offering room for a range of wardrobes and a dressing area. The bathroom at the top of the stairs has a white three-piece suite. Alongside the bathroom, there’s a convenient cloakroom off the kitchen.

The Plot

The garden is a real selling point for this property. It’s generous, extending to both the rear and side of the house. Mostly laid to lawn, there’s a raised patio for sitting outside in the sun, and tall trees line the boundaries for privacy. Scope to landscape and/or add planting is substantial, and there’s potential to create a kids’ area at the side for play equipment.

To the front of the plot is block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for two cars. The double garage grants covered parking for two more if not using for storage, while road parking is available for overflow.

The Position

Noke Shot is a great spot for a family, being just a short walk of schooling and Porters Hill Park. Sauncey Wood Primary School is five minutes away on foot and Katherine Warington School is the nearest secondary at only 15 minutes’ walk away. Two Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ nurseries are within close proximity.

The Batford area of Harpenden benefits from amenities such as a Co-op, a café, pubs and takeaways. More comprehensive facilities are in the centre of town, from an array of independent shops and services, to well-stocked supermarkets, to a mix of pubs, cafés and restaurants.

The sports and leisure scene in Harpenden is thriving, with a gym and pool at the leisure centre and sports clubs and teams in the town. There are also lovely walks through Rothamsted Park, following the Nickey Line, around Batford Springs and along the River Lea. Community events are held across the town throughout the year.

For commuters, the mainline station is a 30-minute walk from the address, with services into London St Pancras in as little as 26 minutes. The M1 lies west of Harpenden and Luton airport is only a few miles away.
