Owner's Thoughts

We fell in love with the house the moment we saw it. The property's central location has been ideal for us since day one. The proximity to the shops, mainline station and great schools have been brilliant for us. Our home is conveniently located next to Maple Primary School, and is within easy walking distance of several other schools, including St Albans City School, Verulam School, and St Albans High School for both boys and girls. We're also just a short walk from Clarence Park.

Hall Place Gardens has a wonderful neighborhood spirit. Our street's WhatsApp group keeps us connected as a community. After living here for many years among neighbors who have become dear friends, it's heartening to see young families moving in. We hope the new family that buys this house will love it just as much as we have.
