3 bed Flat For Sale £350,000
Riverside Gardens, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

Generous, chain-free, three bedroom duplex maisonette.

Description

Located in a cul-de-sac within walking distance of the town centre and several primary schools, this three bedroom duplex maisonette is so surprisingly spacious.

It also has surprisingly low service charges and ground rent and, somewhat unusually for a leasehold property, a maximum of two domestic pets are allowed.

Furthermore, the property has two lots of outside space from which to enjoy the fresh air - a separate private garden to the rear and the sunniest of balconies to the front.

From its own front door, you walk into a welcoming hallway, off which is a large kitchen/diner and a bright and spacious living room.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a good size single, served by a bright bathroom and a separate wc.

Already well presented, there is excellent scope to modernise, should you prefer to put your own stamp on it.

Offered for sale with no upper chain, it would be ideal for downsizers, upsizers, or those just starting on the property ladder.

TENURE: Leasehold (term: 125 years from 30 April 1987).

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.
