6 bedrooms House in Park Avenue North, Harpenden AL5
A rare opportunity on Park Avenue North, a substantial home on an exceptional plot, offering over 3,300 sq ft and exciting potential to update, remodel and extend, subject to consent. This house has the location and the opportunity. On one of Harpenden's most sought-after residential roads, this substantial home occupies a plot of a scale that rarely becomes available. The house itself extends to over 3,300 sq ft across three floors, with six bedrooms and generous living space. This isn't a house where everything needs to happen on day one. There is plenty of space to move in, make improvements gradually and decide over time exactly what you want the house to become. And there is considerable potential. The property is locally listed, so this is not an opportunity to clear the site and start again. Instead, it offers something arguably more interesting: the chance to work with an established house, improving and potentially extending the existing building to create a substantial long-term home, subject to the necessary planning and other consents. The current layout already provides a great deal of flexibility. A central entrance hall leads to a large bright drawing room with fireplace, a separate dining room to the front, a second sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a conservatory, utility room and cloakroom. These are proper, well-proportioned rooms rather than a succession of smaller spaces, and there is enough accommodation to live very comfortably while considering a future scheme. For some buyers, updating the existing house may be enough. Others will immediately see the possibilities offered by the scale of the plot and the footprint already here. Four bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a generous principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and a shower room are arranged across the second floor, giving six bedrooms in total. Outside is where the property really sets itself apart. The overall plot measures approximately 200 ft by 115 ft, with extensive mature gardens surrounding the house on three sides. Large lawns, established trees and planting create a wonderful sense of space, with a swimming pool, summer house, terraces and a detached double garage with studio to the rear already within the grounds. Plots of this scale are increasingly difficult to find in Harpenden, particularly on Park Avenue North. It is the combination of location, land and the existing house that makes this such an unusual proposition. Park Avenue North has long been regarded as one of Harpenden's most desirable residential addresses, within easy reach of the town centre, station, excellent schools and open spaces. The High Street is approximately 0.6 miles away, while Harpenden station is around a mile from the house. This is a house to buy with both the present and the future in mind: update it, live in it, get to know it and then decide just how far you want to take it. Material Information: The property is locally listed, recognising its architectural and local interest. This does not prevent alterations or extensions, although the property cannot be demolished, any proposals would be subject to the necessary planning consents. A minor subsidence issue was noted in September 2025 which has subsequently been mitigated by insurers. Ask agent for further details.

4 bedrooms House in Roundwood Lane, Harpenden AL5
An exceptional detached home on sought-after Roundwood Lane, offering around 2,000 sq ft of beautifully finished, flexible accommodation. With up to five bedrooms, superb living space and a private garden, this is a home designed for modern family life. Some houses look beautiful. Others make you immediately start working out where everything in your life would fit. This detached home on Roundwood Lane manages to do both. Beautifully finished and exceptionally well maintained, it offers around 2,000 sq ft of bright, flexible accommodation, with the rare advantage of being able to work equally well as a five-bedroom family home, a four-bedroom house with generous work-from-home space, or simply a home where the additional rooms can evolve as life does. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged with everyday living very much in mind. At the heart of the house is the impressive kitchen and dining space. A bright, sociable room with plenty of space for family life, entertaining and those occasions when everyone inevitably ends up gathered in the kitchen. Bi-fold doors open out onto the attractive patio for evening entertaining. The high-specification finish is complemented by the practical addition of a separate pantry, while a dedicated utility room keeps the less glamorous side of family life neatly out of sight. There is also a generous living room and a separate snug along with an office or additional bedroom, giving the house that valuable sense of having somewhere for everyone to retreat to. Whether that means a quiet evening with a book, children having their own space, working from home or simply closing the door on the day's chaos, the layout offers considerably more flexibility than a conventional four or five-bedroom house. There is a useful bathroom on the ground floor for the two rooms at the front of the house which can be used as either bedrooms or additional living spaces. The flexibility is incredibly advantageous. Upstairs, the current owners have made further improvements to the accommodation, including fitted wardrobes to the principal bedroom and the creation of a new bathroom on the landing furnished in the same high standard as the rest of the house serving all bedrooms on the first floor. The bedroom accommodation itself is wonderfully adaptable. While currently arranged to provide five bedrooms, the rooms could easily be reconfigured depending on individual requirements. A bedroom could become a study, dressing room, playroom or additional reception space; equally, buyers may simply appreciate having five genuine rooms available to them. There is no feeling here that the layout dictates how you have to live. Throughout, the house is in beautiful condition, with a high-quality finish and a sense that considerable thought has gone into both its appearance and its practicality. It is bright, comfortable and polished without feeling overly formal. It's a house designed to be lived in rather than simply looked at. Outside, the detached nature of the property gives it an immediate sense of privacy and space. The south-easterly facing rear garden is private and provides a natural extension to the living accommodation, with patio for outdoor dining, relaxing and family life, while the front of the property has a generous garden area and provides plenty of off-street parking for many cars. And then there is the location. Roundwood Lane is one of those addresses that continues to appeal because it combines a particularly desirable residential setting with the everyday convenience that makes a difference to family life. Schools in the Roundwood area are highly sought after and whilst this property is close, access would be dependent upon the catchment criteria and should be checked with the local council. Open countryside walks, the Nickey Line and Harpenden's town centre with independent shops, cafes, restaurants, leisure facilities and mainline station are all within easy reach. What particularly appeals about this house is that it offers space, light, flexibility and quality in one of Harpenden's most sought-after locations. Council Band Tax: G.
