This is a Grade 2* Period home located in St. Albans highly sought-after Conservation area. Fishpool Street is considered the "jewel in the crown" of the city. The property is conveniently located within walking distance of the high street and offers garaging and private courtyard parking for up to six cars. The front of the house showcases Tudor architecture, while the rear features Georgian design, and the side displays Victorian elements. Inside, you will find beautiful period panelling, cornicing, and fireplaces that reflect the different time periods. The property was featured in Period House magazine in 2004 following a full refurbishment. The previous owner of the house was Cecil Kennedy, a renowned flower painter who was hailed as the greatest living artist in his field. His impressive list of patrons included Queen Mary, the Duke of Windsor, and Lord Thompson. Kennedy's studio, where he painted, was located in the front bedroom of Manor Garden House, which faces north. The property boasts extensive rear gardens, including formal gardens, a vegetable garden with a greenhouse and shed, and the River Ver, a rare chalk stream where the owner has enjoyed catching good-sized brown trout. It was once The Angel Inn, a public house. In the Study, you will find a built-in Georgian corner unit with glass that has been etched with names dating back to 1779. It is rumoured that King Charles II stayed overnight at this house during his travels from London. St Albans is a historic city located in Hertfordshire, England and known for its rich history, dating back to Roman times when it was known as Verulamium. The city is home to a considerable amount of notable landmarks and attractions, including the magnificent St Albans Cathedral, which is one of the oldest and most impressive cathedrals in the country. The charming city center features a mix of medieval and Georgian architecture, with cobbled streets, traditional pubs and Independent schooling.
