3 bed detached house to rent

Southdown Road, Harpenden AL5

Property Reference: 284335.

Short‑term rental available in central Harpenden - ideal for families or professionals between moves.

Three‑bedroom detached house on Southdown Road available on a strictly short‑term basis (maximum 3-4 months) while we finalise renovation plans. The house offers good living space, a gorgeous garden for the summer months, and prime location close to high street, station, common and schools.

It also has an internal through‑floor lift providing accessibility between floors. It could be very helpful for anyone with mobility needs. It moves between the 3rd bedroom and dining room. The lift can of course also simply be left unused, but provides useful accessibility for guests, multi‑generational families, or anyone recovering from injury.

Perfect for:

• A family waiting to complete on a house purchase
• Professionals on a short project or relocation
• Anyone needing high‑quality temporary accommodation in Harpenden
