Alexandra Road, St Albans

Set along Alexandra Road in the heart of St Albans, this characterful TWO-BEDROOM terraced cottage is arranged over three floors and offered to the market with NO UPPER CHAIN. Behind its cream-painted brick frontage and vibrant red front door, the home blends PERIOD CHARM with practical, well-proportioned living space, making it ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors alike.
The front door opens into a bright and welcoming living room, where a cast iron fireplace with a timber surround takes centre stage. Exposed floorboards, deep skirting boards, cornicing and built-in alcove shelving and cupboards give the room a warm, traditional feel, while a sash window lets in plenty of natural light. A doorway leads through to the separate kitchen, fitted with cream shaker-style cabinets, solid wood work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is space for a freestanding cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, and a window overlooks the garden.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms. Bedroom one spans the front of the house and benefits from twin sash windows, a feature fireplace and plenty of room for wardrobes. Bedroom two sits to the rear and is a similarly generous double, with a period fireplace, twin windows, a useful built-in cupboard and pleasant views over the garden.
The lower level adds real versatility. A spacious study or playroom, with built-in storage, would also make a superb home office or snug. The hallway leads to the rear door and garden, and the family bathroom is positioned to the rear, complete with a panelled bath with shower attachment, pedestal basin, WC and tiled walls.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden is a real asset. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and fruit trees, it features a modern slatted fence and a storage shed, offering a peaceful space for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the sunshine. Convenient side access through an alleyway provides a practical route to the rear garden.
Alexandra Road is conveniently placed for St Albans City Station and the city centre, with its shops, cafés, restaurants and historic attractions all close by. This makes it a practical choice for commuters and anyone wanting to enjoy everything this popular cathedral city has to offer. With approximately 868 square feet of accommodation, this delightful cottage is well worth an early viewing.
