House For Sale £1,675,000
Possibily the most eco friendly house in Berkhamsted with flexible accommodation including a self contained one bedroom annex and stunning canal-side position and also within easy walking distance to the station & town centre.
The Main House
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall which has a double width fitted cloaks cupboard, and a door opening to a cloakroom that is fitted with a white two piece suite. To the left hand side, doors open to a dual aspect study which can be used as a fourth bedroom to the main house if required. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor where there is a shower room and plant room.
All three of the remaining double bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and all have windows to the front. The main bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room with walk-in double width shower. There is also a luxury family bathroom with a four piece suite including a separate bath and separate shower cubicle. Both the stunning kitchen/dining/family room and the dedicated living room are positioned overlooking the rear of the property, where bi-folding doors give absolutely amazing and panoramic views over the garden and the canal directly to the rear boundary.
The Self Contained Annex
The private front door opens directly to the fitted kitchen which is large enough for table and chairs. A door then opens into the open plan studio area large enough to accommodate a bedroom and living room area. From here a lockable door opens into an inner hallway which has a door opening to the lower ground floor lobby area of the main house. Thus the annex can either be easily incorporated into the main house or used as a separate entity
Outside
To the front of the property is a retaining brick wall opening to a large 'L' shaped driveway that continues to both the front door of the main house, and to the annex where the garaging is positioned. The rear garden is an entertaining paradise with an extensive Indian sandstone patio area running the full width of the property, and leading to both a timber decked area and an area laid to artificial grass. Ideal for canal enthusiasts, there is direct access from the garden onto the canal making it a perfect spot for any buyer looking to make the most of the canal opportunities.
