A charming 16th-century Grade II-listed cottage in one of St Albans’ most sought-after locations is on the market for £675,000.
The two-bedroom terraced house in Fishpool Street, in the Abbey Conservation Area, was last sold in 2001 for £250,000.
The estate agent, Ashtons, has described it as 'a rare combination of period charm and convenient location'.
There is also a brick fireplace fitted with a gas stove.
The ground floor bathroom is described as contemporary with a white suite, and the kitchen is bright and well-planned with a range of wall and base cupboards.
The kitchen door leads to a hard-landscaped garden with mature plants, a summer house, and a separate gate providing side access.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a large space with a low-silled window overlooking Fishpool Street.
The second bedroom, located at the rear, can also accommodate a double bed.
A separate WC on the landing could potentially be enlarged into a bath/shower room, subject to the usual consents.
The property's location in the Abbey Conservation Area is highly desirable, and it is presented in excellent order.
The house also features a storage cupboard beneath the staircase.
The estate agent added: "This lovely home is located in the Abbey Conservation Area in the heart of St Albans and offers a rare combination of period charm and convenient location.
"The property has an unexpectedly spacious layout, and the front door opens into a large reception room with exposed timbers, parquet flooring and a pretty bay window to the front.
"The property has a pleasant rear garden with open aspect to the side."
