Description
This superb family home is located on the outskirts of Markyate in a desirable semi-rural location and forms part of Grade II listed Chandlers House which has been sympathetically developed into 5 individual properties each with unique features. The property has been thoughtfully converted to retain the original character features whilst offering spacious and light accommodation.
On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, including a large living room with feature fireplace which overlooks the central courtyard and an attractive dining room which opens into a spacious family room with log burner. A generous kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted with an excellent range of units and integrated appliances.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms served by a family bathroom and en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom.
Outside the gardens have been beautifully landscaped to include a large patio seating area, lawn and greenhouse with kitchen garden. The property also enjoys the use of the central courtyard and has a double garage and ample off-street parking.
NB. A service charge is payable for the upkeep of communal grounds and the private sewage tank. Approx: £125 pcm.
The property is located on a quiet country lane surrounded by miles of greenbelt countryside but with easy access to local amenities in Markyate. The larger town of Harpenden and City of St Albans are both within easy reach and offer wider amenities and fast rail links into London St Pancras and the City. The M1 Motorway and London Luton Airport are also within easy reach.
