House For Sale £425,000
Ravens Lane, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

Chain-free period home, in the heart of town.

Description

Offered with no onward chain, this pretty white-washed Victorian cottage has a newly re-decorated living/dining room, including new carpets and a newly installed log burning stove, which has made it even more appealing and homely.

Being positioned at the end of the terrace means this spacious room enjoys a dual aspect, giving it a particularly light and airy feel.

It also benefits from opening out into the pretty and private, low maintenance courtyard garden.

The kitchen is located at the front of the house and boasts a most practical tiled floor and modern white fitted units, with a characterful chimney breast.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a double to the front and a single to the rear, which would also make a great study or dressing room, next to the modern fitted bathroom.

Situated in the heart of Berkhamsted's town centre, in the Conservation Area, in popular Ravens Lane, it is but a stone's throw from The Rex Cinema, The Gatsby and the ever popular Boat pub on the canal, not to mention being within easy walking distance of the mainline train station and Berkhamsted's fabulous mix of cafes, shops and restaurants.

So many reasons to view in person and experience its tangible charm.

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.
