Otterton Close, Harpenden, Hertfordshire

Strapline
A well-presented four-bedroom home in a family-friendly area of Harpenden.

Property description
Tucked away on a popular cul-de-sac close to excellent schooling and attractive countryside, this semi-detached home was built in the late 1990s and offers well-presented, neutral interiors, versatile accommodation and off-street parking.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room has sleek, light gloss cabinetry, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and range-style cooker. There are three reception spaces on the ground floor, comprising a playroom with doors to the garden, a front-facing office and a relaxed sitting/dining room. The latter has been extended to create a particularly light and versatile space, with Amtico flooring, underfloor heating, a Ornamental fireplace, built-in cabinetry, plus a roof light. Bifold doors open onto the garden, extending the living space outdoors. Practical additions include a utility room, accessed from the playroom, and a downstairs cloakroom off the hall.

Upstairs, the first floor has four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with twin built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, and three further bedrooms, one of which is a double. They are served by a family bathroom.

To the rear, the fully enclosed garden is laid to lawn, with a paved terrace for al fresco dining and relaxing. A planted border and summerhouse add interest, while the low-maintenance layout provides a blank canvas for a new owner to put their own stamp on.

Otterton Close is situated to the north of Harpenden, with its own amenities including a pub, The Old Bell, vet practice and local supermarket. It is especially popular with families due to its proximity to the desirable Roundwood Park school. Harpenden has a thriving High Street and comprehensive range of shopping facilities, including Waitrose, M&S Food and Sainsbury’s, as well as several independent shops. It also boasts an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries. The town is home to several outstanding state schools and some popular independent schools, with further options found in nearby St Albans and other local towns. Sport and leisure are well provided for, with a sports centre and indoor swimming pool; three golf courses;
rugby, tennis and bowling clubs; and a centrally located arts and entertainment venue. Cycling, riding, walking and running can also be enjoyed in the Woodland Trust’s Heartwood Forest and
Rothamsted Estate.
