2 Bed Terraced House For Sale

The spacious property offers well planned accommodation for over 55s and is ideal for retirees, with the houses enjoying a convivial setting around a communal courtyard, allocated parking and the added benefit of private gardens at the rear.

The house is arranged over two floors with a traditional layout that includes three reception rooms, providing ample space for entertaining, relaxing, working from home or hobbies. An inviting entrance hall with coat storage is at the heart of the ground floor, providing access to a triple aspect sitting room with fireplace, a separate well-appointed kitchen, a separate dining room leading to a south-facing conservatory and a shower room/WC. Upstairs there is a generously sized principal bedroom with built-in storage, a further bedroom and a bath/shower room. Though the décor is somewhat dated it is well maintained and provides ample scope for modernisation and personalisation by the new owner.

Southgate Court is set behind mature trees a short, level distance from Harpenden’s vibrant High Street. The court is arranged around a community space in the centre which leads to allocated parking spaces for residents and a garage en bloc. The communal gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature trees and varied borders of shrubs, fragrant herbs and bedding plants, adding colour and texture year round. To the rear of the property there is a private, enclosed garden which would benefit from some landscaping, including a spacious terrace and a raised flowerbed featuring a wide variety of established plants.

Harpenden has a thriving High Street and comprehensive range of shopping facilities, including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and a Marks and Spencer store. It boasts an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and numerous independent shops.

Good sporting and leisure facilities include a sports centre with indoor swimming pool, rugby, tennis, bowling and cricket clubs, together with three golf courses.
