Highfield Road, Sandridge, St. Albans, AL4 9BU

This lovely detached house has a pleasant setting with a garden backing onto open fields, yet has easy access into St Albans and its wide range of amenities. Set back from the road with a driveway providing off-street parking to the front, the property is entered at the side and the door opens into an entrance hall with useful WC. There is a separate reception room with a large window to the front of the property, and a bright open plan space to the rear accommodates the kitchen as well as providing a further, more informal living area. The kitchen is well designed to allow plenty of storage and space for appliances, and glazed doors lead from here through to a conservatory with access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms reached from a bright landing with a large rooflight. Both rooms are dual aspect and the larger room at the rear has an impressive vaulted ceiling and glazed doors with a Juliet balcony. The family bathroom is accessed from the landing, it is fitted with a bath and separate shower and has a rooflight which admits plenty of natural light.

The sunny garden is largely laid to lawn, with attractive Silver Birch trees at the rear providing pretty views and privacy, and there is a decked seating area close to the house.

Highfield Road is in the popular village of Sandridge, just to the north of St Albans, and it has easy access into the city centre. Highly regarded schools are close by, including Sandringham Secondary School and there are lovely walks on the doorstep through Heartwood Forest.
