Watford Road, St. Albans, AL1

This exceptional five-bedroom detached family home showcases modern luxury, elegance, and intelligent design at its finest. Finished to an impeccable standard throughout, the property offers a rare opportunity to reside in a home commended for its outstanding architecture by the St Albans Civic Society. Perfectly positioned, it’s just moments from highly regarded schools, the beautiful open spaces of Verulamium Park, excellent motorway links, and the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of St Albans City Centre.

Ground Floor Elegance:
The ground floor is beautifully appointed with underfloor heating throughout and stylish Karndean and Amtico luxury vinyl flooring. A grand entrance hall, complete with a sweeping curved staircase by James Steele Staircases, sets the tone for the rest of the property. Living spaces include a characterful art-deco inspired games room with restored aluminium bay windows, a living room featuring a historic fireplace believed to originate from a shipwreck off the Devon coast, and French doors leading to the covered veranda. Practicality is met with elegance in the boot room—serving as a dedicated workman’s entrance with ample cloakroom, shoe and sports bag/golf club storage—alongside a separate dedicated utility room.

Stunning Kitchen & Entertaining Space: The heart of the home is the remarkable open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, spanning approximately 600 square feet. Supplied by Audus Kitchens, this luxury German kitchen is equipped with a full suite of premium features including a Quooker hot water tap, two integrated ovens, a micro-combi and steam oven, full-height wine fridge, mood lighting, and a walk-in pantry with additional freezer space. Black bi-folding doors and windows open fully on both sides, seamlessly connecting the kitchen to the covered veranda—enhanced by electrically operated rooflights with built-in rain sensors.

First Floor Accommodation: The first floor offers a thoughtful layout comprising three generous double bedrooms of which two have luxury furniture from Neatsmith providing ample storage and comfort —one has a unique ‘secret’ en-suite and bay window seating area, another with a stylish en-suite adorned with imported Italian tiles—plus a fourth bedroom that also functions perfectly as a second home office. A bright bay-windowed landing area includes built-in library area. The luxurious family bathroom features Porcelanosa tiles, a walk-in rainforest shower, separate bath, electric toilet, sensor-lit mirror cabinets, and cleverly designed laundry chutes in both the family and primary en-suites, dropping directly into the utility room below.

Second Floor Retreat: The top floor hosts the impressive principal suite—a spacious double bedroom with Juliet balcony and French doors overlooking St Stephen’s Park and the landscaped rear garden. This serene space includes his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes by Neatsmith, a generous en-suite bathroom with two-person bath, large walk-in shower, and a second laundry chute. An additional room on this floor is currently used as a home office, and ample eaves storage is also available.

Outside Space: Set within a beautifully maintained private garden measuring approximately 200 feet, the outdoor space has been expertly landscaped and illuminated with subtle lighting for evening ambiance. A large, covered veranda—complete with timber-effect porcelain tiles, integrated lighting and heating, and a composite-clad ceiling—offers year-round usability and is perfectly positioned to watch the sunset.

Further highlights include a secondary seating area at the rear of the garden, a court area currently used for basketball, a spacious garden room currently equipped as a gym in which the owners are happy to leave the equipment for Tenants use, additional storage spaces, and a private gate opening onto a secluded community park—creating a natural extension of the garden. To the front, a sizeable driveway features permeable resin surfacing for efficient drainage, along with an EV charging point for modern convenience.

The owners are happy to offer the property on an unfurnished/part furnished basis.
