The property is currently listed at £750,000. Its most compelling attributes are the substantial plot size, which offers significant potential for extension (subject to planning), and an expansive, private rear garden that is not overlooked – a highly desirable feature in many markets. However, these positives are weighed against several factors. It has the smallest internal square footage among the comparable properties and is equipped with only one bathroom, whereas many similar homes offer more. Furthermore, its modernisation level is notably low, indicating that a considerable investment in renovations will be required by the new owner. While the development potential undoubtedly adds to its appeal and likely influences the agent's pricing, the immediate condition and size suggest that the current asking price is ambitious. Our valuation reflects a balance, acknowledging the future possibilities but also the present state and necessary expenditure.

Location

This property offers good access to Clarence Park for recreation, a desirable feature, though several other properties in the area are near parks, with some adjacent to the larger Verulamium Park. It is on a residential street, suggesting a quieter setting than main roads, similar to many local homes. However, potential noise from a nearby major road is a consideration, a common factor for properties in this urban environment.

Environmental Factors

The property benefits from its proximity to Clarence Park, a large green space offering recreational opportunities and enhancing the local environment.

Robert Avenue is a residential street, likely experiencing low traffic volumes compared to main roads, contributing to a quieter immediate environment.

The property is situated in an established residential area, meaning views are typically of other homes and gardens, which is standard and avoids overtly negative outlooks such as industrial sites or derelict buildings.

The property's location is relatively close (approx. 100-150m at the nearest point) to the A1081 Hatfield Road, a major arterial route. This proximity may result in some level of traffic noise, potentially impacting tranquility.

Modernization

This property appears significantly less modernized than many others in the local market, which frequently feature new kitchens and updated bathrooms. It likely requires comprehensive internal refurbishment. However, its notable potential for renovation and extension offers a distinct opportunity for buyers looking to customize a home.

General notes

Offers significant potential for extension (STPP) and renovation, particularly given the large plot mentioned in the description.

Property appears dated externally; lack of interior photos suggests comprehensive internal modernisation is likely required.
