Set within the heart of the old conservation area is this beautifully presented THREE BEDROOM VICTORIAN COTTAGE finished to a high standard throughout. Offering a rare combination of character, space and versatility, arranged over four floors, this is a home perfectly suited to modern living while retaining its original charm.
The ground floor is centred around a welcoming and cosy living room that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. To the rear, the property opens into a stunning kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed with ample storage, generous work surfaces and a seating area for dining. This room enjoys direct access to the rear garden, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Stairs lead down to the basement level, which has been cleverly converted to provide a superb additional reception space, currently utilised as a cinema room. This flexible area offers excellent versatility, ideal for home working, or simply as a quiet retreat away from the main living area.
On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and separate w.c, bedroom three currently utilised as a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish family bathroom. The second floor provides a further third bedroom, with eaves storage, and offering a charming top-floor retreat, perfect as a guest room.
Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature, offering generous space rarely found so centrally. The garden provides room for dining, relaxation and play, and includes a dedicated garden office along with additional storage, making it ideal for those working from home or seeking flexible outdoor space.
Portland Street is perfectly positioned for enjoying everything St Albans has to offer. The vibrant city centre, with its independent cafés, restaurants and shops, is just moments away, while the mainline station is within easy reach, providing fast connections into London St Pancras. St Michael’s Village, Verulamium Park & Lakes and the Abbey are all a short stroll away. Combining period charm with modern functionality and an enviable location, this is a truly special city-centre home.
Client Comment:
Portland street is one of the most special streets in St. Albans. There is an incredible community and Caz & the team at The Portland Arms are great. We love how close this is to town, and will be very sad to leave this area’
