The property is listed at £800,000. Its primary strengths are its substantial internal area of 1573 square feet and four bedrooms, placing it amongst the larger properties in this market segment. It also features allocated parking and is freehold. However, its overall modernisation level is rated as below the market average, indicating potential renovation costs. The location is considered mid-range. While the generous size provides strong support for a higher valuation, the need for updates tempers this. Comparable properties with better modernisation and similar or larger size are listed around or even below this price point. Therefore, the asking price appears optimistic. A realistic valuation likely sits slightly below the current asking price, balancing its spaciousness against its present condition and the value offered by better-maintained alternatives.
The property is on average £32,318 more expensive than similar properties in the area

6.8/10Location
This property enjoys a quiet cul-de-sac setting, a desirable feature for tranquility that is common among many homes in this market. It offers convenient walking access to Clarence Park, though it's noted that several competing properties provide even closer or more direct access to the larger Verulamium Park. Potential aircraft noise is a factor to consider, while its proximity to St Albans Abbey train station is a reasonable convenience, similar to other properties in the vicinity.

Environmental Factors
The property is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, significantly reducing through-traffic and associated noise pollution compared to properties on busier roads.
Located within a reasonable walking distance (approximately 0.5-0.7 miles) of Clarence Park, offering valuable green space, recreational opportunities, and a pleasant environment not available to all properties in the wider area.
Positioned within a generally well-regarded and aesthetically pleasant residential area of St Albans, which is a competitive advantage over less sought-after locales.
The wider St Albans area, including this location, can be subject to some level of aircraft noise due to flight paths associated with Luton Airport, which can be a disadvantage compared to areas less affected.
