Description
This stylish mid-terrace, 3-bedroom home has undergone an impressive transformation over the past year, offering modern living in a charming village setting. The property features a private garage with overhead storage, an allocated parking space and a south-facing rear garden. Planning permission is already in place to convert the loft into a spacious master suite, providing excellent potential to expand. The location just off the High Street is superb, with local shops and village pub just a short stroll away. Families will appreciate the primary school and the sought-after catchment area for both Harpenden and Hitchin secondary schools. Whether you're a young family, professional couple, single buyer, or looking to downsize, this property offers the ideal combination of community charm and excellent transport links by road and rail.
Step Inside
This beautifully remodelled three-bedroom mid-terrace home has undergone a complete transformation within the past year, offering a seamless blend of modern style, thoughtful design, and future potential. Every detail has been considered—from a full rewire and brand-new porch to newly installed patio doors, flooring, and carpeting throughout. The property also benefits from granted planning permission to convert the generous loft space into a stunning master suite with shower room.
Step into the newly built porch, where a built-in bench seat and hanging space provide practical yet attractive storage. From here, you enter a beautifully panelled hallway with a stylish understairs cloakroom, setting the tone for the rest of the home. A glazed internal door opens into the main living area—an elegant, light-filled space with wood-effect flooring and full-width patio doors that frame views of the south-facing garden. This open-plan room offers plenty of space for both relaxing and dining, seamlessly connecting to the newly fitted kitchen. Overlooking the front of the house, the kitchen is both timeless and functional, featuring a dove grey, shaker-style design and high-spec integrated appliances, including a boiling water tap, dishwasher, fridge freezer, and washing machine. Wooden shutters frame the front windows, adding both character and privacy.
Upstairs, the attention to detail continues. New oak bannisters and high-quality, natural-toned carpets lead to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all featuring matching wooden shutters for a cohesive and stylish finish. The two rear bedrooms enjoy garden views, while the elegant principal bedroom overlooks the High Street and features a bespoke panelled headboard wall, wall-mounted lighting, and ample space for wardrobes and storage. The family bathroom is tastefully finished in neutral tones, with a bath and overhead shower, wood-effect flooring, and modern fittings.
Loft Conversion Opportunity
The expansive loft spans the full width of the house and benefits from impressive head height. Planning permission has been granted to create a luxurious master suite with shower room, and much of the preliminary work has already been completed—including fire doors upstairs and electrical connections. Only the installation of Velux windows and final interior fittings remain, with quotes already available for prospective buyers.
Step Outside
The beautifully designed, south-facing terraced garden can be accessed directly from the house via patio doors or through a gate at the top, which connects to a footpath beside the neighbouring property. The thoughtfully landscaped space includes a small upper terrace, a lawn, and a generous patio area—ideal for outdoor dining or relaxed seating. A built-in bench seat within the retaining wall adds charm and offers additional space for entertaining family and friends. The garden is designed to be low maintenance while maximising sunshine throughout the day. To the front of the property, a shared bricked parking area serves all three homes, with each property benefiting from an allocated parking space and a private single garage. The garage for No. 53b includes additional storage via a mezzanine level and a new door recently fitted. The turning area is spacious enough to allow for safe and easy access to and from the High Street.
