Description

27 Moreton Avenue is a generously proportioned six bedroom family home, located in Harpenden's highly regarded 'Avenues', affording easy access to an excellent choice of local schools for all age groups, with the town centre and station also close at hand. The property has accommodation over three floors, all presented in excellent decorative order.

The present owners have also secure planning consent to extend further to the front to enlarge the study and hallway as well as changing the appearance of the house, to allow an incoming buyer to create a cleaner more contemporary facade, if so desired. Planning Application 5/2024/0469

The house has a couple of notable features that should appeal to families, a large open plan kitchen family room at the rear of the house and having four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, in addition to the two bedroom and bathroom on the top.

The ground floor has a spacious hallway with guest cloakroom. There is a study at the front and a stylish sitting room with a large built in TV/AV unit with shelving and storage located to the rear. The kitchen dining family space is vast and made super bright by the conservatory style end that also maximises views over the rear garden. The modern kitchen area has a large L shaped island, integrated Neff appliances and there is also a utility room which gives access to the garage and side passage.

As previously stated the first floor offers four bedrooms and family bathroom, the largest of which has an en suite shower room. The second floor has what could also be a main bedroom suite with bedroom, walk through dressing room and large en suite bathroom. Bedroom six could be used as a further study or family room. The house also benefits from extensive, easy to access, eaves storage on both first and second floors.

To the rear of the house there is a patio accessible from the sitting room or family room and steps down to the lawn area. The garden is fenced with various shrubs and bushes. There is an additional patio to the rear, positioned to catch the last rays of the setting sun.

At the front the driveway offers parking for multiple cars, there is an integral garage with electric car charger, bin store and a rockery area with flowers and shrubs.

The planning consent granted would increase the size of the study and create additional hallway space that would also allow for a boot room style entrance lobby with storage bench and then a cleaner hallway design with additional storage cupboards. Another nice feature would be a direct line of sight from the entrance through the house, all the way to the garden.
