5 bed detached house for sale

Meadow Walk, Harpenden, Hertfordshire AL5

A well presented family home featuring quality fixtures and fittings and stylish décor throughout, combining to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment arranged over three floors. It is in a sought-after residential area near to local town centre amenities, schools and the station.

23 Meadow Walk is an attractive detached family home, thoughtfully extended to a total of 2,000 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Designed to provide ideal indoor-outdoor living and entertaining space, the layout flows from a welcoming wooden-floored reception hall, which includes useful storage, a cloakroom, and access to the integral garage.

The hallway flows to a substantial dual-aspect kitchen/dining room with tiled flooring, a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a freestanding central island with breakfast bar, complementary wooden work surfaces, and modern integrated appliances. The dining area offers ample space for a large table and features a vaulted sky lantern and a bay with full-height glazing and bi-fold doors to the terrace and stunning swimming pool.

Double doors then access a spacious rear-aspect sitting room and drawing room featuring exposed wooden flooring, bespoke fitted storage topped by a raised freestanding woodburning stove, and a vaulted section with two sky lanterns and bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace—flooding the space with natural light. The ground floor accommodation also comprises a cosy front aspect snug/TV room.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to a generous first floor landing with further useful storage, giving access to a principal bedroom with exposed wooden flooring, fitted storage and a contemporary en suite shower room, three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. A separate staircase from the landing gives access to a second floor landing with useful eaves storage, opening to the property’s remaining double bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling, walk-in storage, and an en suite shower room.

Set behind low-level walling and an area of mature planting flanked by central steps rising to the front door and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a block-paved driveway providing private parking and giving access to the integral garage. The enclosed, part-walled garden to the rear is a particular feature of this property. It is laid to level lawn, bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds, and offers numerous seating areas. Highlights include a bespoke stone-built bar beneath a pergola, an air source heated swimming pool with a raised paved and part-decked surround, and an adjacent outdoor shower. A paved terrace completes the setting. The entire space is screened by mature hedging, making it ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
