High Street, Markyate, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, AL3 8PF

This delightful period home, built in 1850, offers spacious and beautifully presented accommodation over three floors. A quarry-tiled hallway leads to two reception rooms: a large sitting room and separate snug, both with an abundance of character features including original etched windows, period fireplaces, original wood flooring and cast-iron radiators. A study off the sitting room boasts back-lit built-in shelving, wooden floorboards and a period fireplace. The modern kitchen/diner feels very much the heart of the home and is fully fitted with a stylish range of cream units and granite work surfaces. In addition, a separate guest cloakroom is situated off an inner hallway which gives access to the garden.
On the first floor there are three impressive double bedrooms, two of which are dual aspect, with original sash windows and secondary glazing. All have period fireplaces, wooden floorboards and high ceilings. These bedrooms are served by a luxuriously fitted modern bathroom with twin basins, a large bath, separate wet-room style shower and plenty of storage.
On the second floor is a wonderful master suite with countryside views, walk-in wardrobe, cast iron radiators, eaves storage, and a beautifully appointed shower room.
Outside to the rear, the private gravel garden has plenty of mature shrubs. The detached brick-built outbuilding has been converted into a garage and double gates lead out to the High Street. A large cellar is accessed from outside and is currently used for storage. Planning permission was previously granted to convert the cellar into a habitable room and integrate it into the rest of the house via a spiral staircase from the study.
