Property description

This immaculately-presented and stylish mid-terrace Victorian property is an absolute gem - and also comes with two off-street parking spaces. The cottage is arranged over three floors and has been updated and renovated with great attention to detail to create a modern family home without compromising its charm or character. Notable features include: original sash windows, exposed beams, feature brick fireplaces, oak doors throughout and hand-made French terracotta tiled flooring in the reception rooms. St. Michael's Street is a highly desirable location in picturesque St. Michael's village, and the property enjoys panoramic views across Verulamium park. The village has its own Church, primary and nursery schools, plus greatpubs and eateries, including the popular Waffle House. The City centre and mainline station are within walking distance.

To the side of the kitchen is an extension with a stunning glass ceiling, which floods the room in natural light. It's currently used as a utility-cum-pantry with space/plumbing for a fridge and tumble dryer. A partially glazed door leads out into the rear garden.
