Holly Close, St Albans, AL1
St Albans – Freehold – £850,000
Full Description
A short walk south of St Albans City Centre lies Holly Close, a private, gated cul-de-sac that provides an ideal backdrop for this exquisite, three bedroom detached contemporary home. Throughout, the interior has been finished with meticulous attention, with a neutral palette and expansive glazing (manifested through bi-folding doors) working harmoniously to create a warm and wonderfully bright space. The property itself has a handsome façade, finished in a red, Hampshire stock and tile cladding, all enclosed neatly behind a maintained front garden with side-gate access and allocated parking for two vehicles.
Entrance to the property is a beautifully bright hallway; a lovely place to meet and greet, and enjoy the convenience of a practical downstairs cloakroom on the left-hand side. Measuring at an impressive 24’8 x 16’8, an-open plan kitchen, living and dining space dominates the ground floor. The design incorporates neutral wooden flooring, stylish feature light fittings, and a modern fitted kitchen. Adorned with quartz surfaces, the kitchen's comprehensive range of cabinetry and appliances are laid out so everything is within easy reach. Natural light pours through expansive glazing at the rear.
A staircase ascends to the first floor, home to three generous bedrooms, one of which is currently being utilised as a dressing area. The second bedroom is equipped with a large, south-facing window which invites an excellent quality of natural light into the space. The principal bedroom remains stylistically cohesive with the rest of the house with feature-panelling, in-built cabinetry and a contemporary en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower enclosure.
Flowing from the rear of the house lies a north-easterly facing, secluded garden. A large decking at the front has been levelled to transition seamlessly from the open-plan living space. Positioned at the centre is an artificial lawn, surrounded by raised beds that complement the white, porcelain steps leading to a platformed, contemporary terrace, ideal for outdoor hosting and dining alfresco. Completing the garden is a 14ft, versatile outbuilding with power, currently being used as an office.
