Summary

The Property

4a Ver Road is an exciting, detached house situated in one of St Albans’ most sought-after locations, right in the heart of the old conservation area on a private cul-de-sac which enjoys some of the best views of the Abbey in the city. Conveniently located within very easy reach of the city centre, Ver Road is also just a short walk of the Abbey, Verulamium Park and Lakes and St Michael’s Village while also offering easy access to both stations, excellent schools, and extensive local amenities.

4a Ver Road has been imaginatively designed, extended and greatly improved to take full advantage of the plot, it’s slight incline and the wonderful views this affords both the house and the garden.

Inside, the house offers immaculately presented accommodation over two floors, both flooded with natural light by virtue of windows to all four elevations. The upper ground floor is set mainly to largely open plan living accommodation that runs the entire length of the house. A storm porch initially leads to an entrance hall which then opens into this impressive open plan living space, a contemporary kitchen breakfast room at the front of the house is followed by a lounge area and then a dining area, followed by a beautiful sitting room, with a vaulted ceiling and doors to the garden.

The remainder of the upper ground floor includes two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom en-suite to a shower room, a further stand-alone shower room, and a laundry/utility. To the lower ground floor there is flexible accommodation with independent side access currently configured as a third bedroom, also with an en-suite shower room, and a studio offering scope for use as a fourth bedroom or home office. A boiler room and plenty of fitted storage complete the picture on this level.

Outside

Outside, there is plenty of off-street parking to a block paved drive at the front of the house, with further residents’ parking to the road. Gated access to both sides of the house lead to a delightful south-facing garden, which has been designed to provide a wonderful backdrop to the main living and bedroom accommodation. With its large, paved terrace, lawn and well stocked planted beds and boundaries it makes the ideal location for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Enjoying a high degree of privacy while maintaining the views to Abbey it is enclosed with brick built and fenced boundaries, with a timber workshop/shed, with access to a further area of garden, and a greenhouse.

As well as the main entrance to the upper ground floor the house also benefits from secondary access to one side leading to the lower ground floor and so enhancing the flexibility this level offers to use as a separate self-contained annexe to the main house.
