House For Sale £1,550,000
Hidden gem in one of Berkhamsted's most coveted locations.
Description
This individual 4/5 bedroom detached property enjoys an excellent position, nestled away down a long, private driveway, in one of Berkhamsted's most coveted addresses.
Located within walking distance of the town, schools and station, this lovely home boasts deceptively spacious living accommodation, together with a generous plot.
Extended by the current owners, the property is highly versatile, being equally suited to a growing family as it would be to someone wishing to downsize or looking to develop further.
Downstairs, there are four separate reception rooms, including a sitting room with open fireplace. The study could alternatively be used as a fifth bedroom, if required.
Most impressive, the open-plan kitchen/dining room features a central island, beautiful granite worktops, and a walk-in pantry. Two sets of bifold doors connect out to the rear garden and a wonderful covered terrace/barbecue area.
From the kitchen is access to a good size utility room and a stylish wet room.
On the first floor, there are four good size double bedrooms, all enjoying an attractive outlook. Two bedrooms have Juliet balconies and the main bedroom also boasts an en suite shower room. The sizeable and smart family bathroom is well-equipped and includes dual sinks, bath and a large shower.
Externally, the rear garden is ideal for entertaining, with a covered patio area accessed from the kitchen, an additional sunken patio area providing privacy. In addition, there is a large lawn with well-established borders stocked with mature plants, a summer house and garden shed.
There is access to both sides of the house, around to a large parking area at the front.
This lovely home also presents the opportunity to enhance and extend further, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. Previous planning had been granted for double garage with room above, an additional cinema room, additional larger reception room, plus the addition of a second ensuite bathroom.
Location
Berkhamsted is an affluent commuter town, attracting people from all over the country with its perfect blend of amenities and countryside. Providing a haven from the madding crowd, but offering just the right balance of hustle and bustle to make it a vibrant and thriving place in which to live, the local area has much to offer, from historic roots to acres of nearby open spaces, many deemed Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Modern Berkhamsted began to expand after the canal and the railway were built in the 19th century. However, its historic roots can be traced back to 1066 when William the Conqueror became King and the magnificent Berkhamsted Castle was built for him, substantial ruins still remain today just a short walk from the town centre.
Located on the western edge of Hertfordshire and bordering on Buckinghamshire, the town is in close proximity to the Chiltern Hills, the National Trust’s Ashridge Forest, and the Grand Union Canal, making it ideal for dog lovers, ramblers and cyclists. In the High Street itself, you can enjoy browsing the eclectic range of independent shops and bustling markets on a Wednesday and Saturday, and take advantage of the many charming coffee shops, restaurants and traditional pubs.
Another reason for Berkhamsted’s enduring popularity is the quality of education to be had in the town. The prestigious, independent Berkhamsted School, plus the many highly acclaimed state schools from primary to secondary, provide a wonderful learning environment for all ages. While for the performing arts, there is the world-renowned Tring Park School in nearby Tring, just 5 miles away. Across the county boundary to Buckinghamshire, there is even the opportunity for children to take the 11+ for admission to the county’s grammar schools.
Excellent transport links for commuters makes Berkhamsted an obvious choice. The town perfectly combines convenient connections to the capital and beyond, with its own train station offering direct access to London Euston in under 40 minutes and easy access to major road networks via the A41 and M25.
