Tanglewood, St Albans
Guide price £2,999,950
Tanglewood occupies a superb south facing plot, in arguably St Albans most sought after residential area. Whilst the house offers excellent accommodation, there is a tremendous amount of potential for further extension and improvement, subject to planning permission and is on a plot of 0.734 acres.
Tanglewood offers versatile, individually designed family living over three levels. The living accommodation centres on a sumptuous beamed lounge with beautiful fireplace and a majestic bay window overlooking the sweeping lawned gardens.
A substantial study and dining hall also lie off the lounge: exposed brickwork and timbers proliferate – whilst the main reception hall leads through to the heart of the house - a beautifully equipped kitchen / breakfast room. The feature fireplace provides a focal point for family living. For practicality a laundry-utility room lies adjacent.
Upstairs the master bedroom with stunning valuted ceiling and exposed timbers has its own dressing room and an en suite bathroom. Bedrooms three, four and five have en suite or adjacent facilities and all lie off the main landing. Exposed timbers and brickwork abound. The Guest Suite - with its own en suite bathroom - lies at the far end of this symmetrically balanced, lavishly proportioned house.
