1 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
High Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

Spacious. Stylish. And very special.

Description

Truly unique, this one bedroom, ground floor apartment is a one-off which will appeal to the discerning buyer for whom individuality and style is more important than a second bedroom.

One of its many fabulous features is that it has its own front door and, from the outside, looks like a house.

Inside is much bigger than you would expect. The entrance hallway with its large storage cupboard is a huge bonus, and the style and decor of the entire property has been completely revamped by an interior designer - and it shows.

The recently replaced kitchen and en suite shower room with wc - plus a second separate wc - are of exceptional taste and quality. The flooring has recently been replaced with Amtico to the living areas and plush carpet to the bedroom, and the whole apartment has been redecorated to perfection. The boiler has also been replaced.

The living room looks out onto the gated, well manicured and regularly maintained communal gardens and a space which lends itself to being able to sit outside as if it were for the sole use of the apartment. There is also another communal garden to the rear.

Set back from the High Street, its town centre location with allocated parking are the cherries on this already beautifully iced cake.

TENURE: Leasehold (term: 125 years from 1 November 2001).

Location

Berkhamsted itself is a busy market town, located to the West of Hertfordshire and just 30 minutes from London by train. Perhaps the town's most prominent role in National affairs came in 1066 when William the Conqueror was handed the English Crown. Berkhamsted Castle was built following the granting of the crown, and famous names associated with it include Geoffrey Chaucer who was Clerk of Works, and Thomas Becket who was Constable of the Castle in the 12th Century. Substantial ruins of the Castle still remain today.

Today, the town is highly desirable for commuters, with excellent transport links by road and rail. The mainline train station provides a regular and direct link to London Euston in a little over 30 minutes. Major road connections nearby include the M25 (J20) and the M1 (J8 and J9). The A41 dual carriageway runs to the South of the town, providing an excellent connection to Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Tring and Aylesbury.

There is a good range of leisure facilities in the area. There is walking and riding just minutes away in the surrounding countryside and on the National Trust's 5,000 acre Ashridge Estate, while nearby golf courses include Ashridge, Berkhamsted and The Grove. The area offers excellent schooling, including Berkhamsted School, founded in 1541, and Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.

Berkhamsted offers a wide range of shopping, from independent boutiques to national names such as Waitrose and M&S Simply Food. Milton Keynes and London are both easily accessible too.
