1 bed Flat For Sale £310,000
High Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

Immaculate one bedroom apartment in the prestigious Rex development, with allocated parking, a large sunny terrace and share of freehold.

Description

There are many attractive features about this immaculately presented one bedroom, first floor apartment in The Rex.

The wide and welcoming hallway sets the tone for the light and space this property offers; the bathroom is smart and modern; the attractive, well-equipped kitchen is separate from the living/dining room, and the bedroom is a good size double.

But undoubtedly the piece de la resistance is the large outdoor terrace. Not only is it a sun-trap, but it spans the width of the apartment, so it can be accessed via patio doors from both the living room and the bedroom.

Add to that the secure, allocated parking space and the town centre location, and you have a most desirable Rex apartment, with lift access, and a share of freehold too.

TENURE: Leasehold (term: 125 years from 1 January 2002).

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.
