A period property, once used as a location for a 1960s Golden Globe-winning film, has gone up for sale in St Albans.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is listed by Bradford & Howley for a guide price of £1,150,000.
The house, located on Abbey View Road, featured in scenes from Hand in Hand – an award-winning film, which touched on themes of friendship and religious tolerance.
The 1960 movie also featured scenes from across St Albans and starred prominent actors Dame Sybil Thorndyke and Miriam Karlin, along with British child actors Philip Needs and Loretta Parry.
It won a special Golden Globe award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding.
The property is now in "first-class condition throughout", according to the estate agents.
It features a neutral colour scheme, well-proportioned rooms, and offers an appealing blend of period characteristics with modern conveniences.
The house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the old conservation area, considered a highly sought-after location.
A major selling point according to Bradford & Howley is the house's large driveway for off-street parking, described as "an exceptional rarity" in this area.
The additional dropped curb allows for extra on-street parking, exclusively for the property.
Period aspects of the property have been retained including a light-filled living room with a working Victorian fireplace and fitted shutters.
Several restored Victorian fireplaces are spread throughout the lounge, dining room and three of the bedrooms, adding to the property's charm.
A west-facing dining room opens onto a side courtyard through double doors.
It also offers a fully modernised kitchen replete with underfloor heating, a range cooker, and a breakfast bar.
The house has been completely rewired and re-plumbed by the current owners.
The house is also well-situated within St Albans with "stunning views of the cathedral," said the estate agents.
This well-preserved period property is not just a piece of St Albans' history, but of British cinema history as well, promising a charming living experience for film buffs and for those with an appreciation for Victorian houses.
