This property, listed at £750,000, presents as a well-modernised three-bedroom home with a generous internal area of 1153 square feet, allocated parking, and a garden. Its overall location and environmental ratings are respectable within the local market, and it benefits from freehold tenure. However, a key consideration is the presence of only one bathroom. This is a notable drawback when compared to other properties available in a similar price range; several competing listings offer four bedrooms and two or more bathrooms at or near the same asking price. While the property's good condition and size for a three-bedroom configuration are positive attributes, the limited bathroom facilities are likely to temper buyer enthusiasm. This suggests the current listing price is somewhat optimistic, although its positive aspects provide some support. The freehold tenure and garden are standard features in this market segment.
The property is on average £17,682 less expensive than similar properties in the area

6.9/10Location
This property boasts excellent proximity to Highfield Park, a significant plus, though many competing properties also offer strong park access. It's located in a desirable residential area with pleasant local greenery. Compared to homes on quieter streets or cul-de-sacs, its position on a through-road may result in more noticeable local traffic. Access to St Albans City train station is reasonably good.

Environmental Factors
The property benefits from immediate or very close proximity to Highfield Park, a large public park offering extensive green space, recreational opportunities, and potentially enhancing views and tranquility compared to properties further away.
Located within a generally desirable and well-regarded residential area of St Albans, with additional local green amenities such as Cell Barnes Orchard contributing to a pleasant neighbourhood character and offering an advantage over less green areas.
Cell Barnes Lane is a through-road within the residential area, which may result in a moderate level of local traffic and associated ambient noise, representing a slight disadvantage compared to properties on more secluded cul-de-sacs or no-through roads.

8.6/10Modernization
This property presents well with a modern fitted kitchen, including a clean subway tile backsplash, and a recently updated bathroom featuring a glass shower screen. These updates align it with the more modernized homes in the market. While not a brand-new refurbishment like some comparables, its good decorative order and contemporary wood-effect flooring make it a strong contender.
