Description
Beautifully proportioned rooms and high ceilings.

Description

If you love the charm of a period cottage but long for higher ceilings, this beautiful home has it all.

Believed to date around 1900, its other advantage is that it is semi-detached, rather than a terrace. The room sizes are unexpectedly spacious and well proportioned, too.

Located in a popular road off the High Street, right in the town centre, the accommodation also boasts a large upstairs bathroom and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Downstairs there are two good sized reception rooms leading into a kitchen and a utility room to the rear, with windows overlooking the garden. The dining room also has access out into the garden.

Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are particularly generous, and the bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower.

Outside, the garden is enchanting. Brimming with all manner of delightful plants and shrubs, two features of note are the old flagstones designed in a circular pattern and the original old brick wall to the rear.

There is a gated side access, shared with just the neighbouring semi - most useful for bins and any building works. There is also potential to extend into the loft, subject to planning permission.

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.
