Built in 1955, this beautiful four-bedroom house is ideally located on the edge of St Albans. Working sensitively within the parameters of the original design, the current owner, an architect, has remodelled and extended the house to create a series of light-filled, sociable living spaces spanning 2,166 sq ft, with wonderful views over the richly planted garden through large glazed doors. The house is less than a 10-minute drive from St Albans station, which runs trains to London St Pancras in 21 minutes.
