Set well back from Kings Road on a third-of-an-acre southerly plot, this elegant 1930s detached house combines period character with considered modern living. The ground floor centres on a light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with a walk-in pantry, while original parquet, hardwood joinery and brass fittings remain throughout. A wood-burning stove, bay-fronted reception rooms and generous circulation spaces suit family life and entertaining.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a modern en suite shower room; two further double bedrooms and a main family bathroom occupy the first floor. The top-floor bedroom sits under the eaves with an adjacent shower room — ideal for guests or older children but with restricted headroom. Practical spaces include a utility room, study with garden access, cloakroom and a detached garage/workshop plus driveway parking for three to four cars.
Careful, sympathetic extensions over the past decade deliver contemporary comfort while preserving architectural provenance – notably a two-storey 1950s addition by a former resident of local note. The gardens are mature and layered, with patios, a vegetable plot and private lawned areas providing excellent outdoor versatility. The plot, parking and garage add significant everyday convenience.
Location is a key strength: walkable to Berkhamsted High Street, shops and the railway station, and within easy reach of both highly regarded independent schools and several state schools (mixed Ofsted outcomes). Freehold, no flood risk and very low local crime contribute to long-term appeal. Note the property sits in a higher council tax band and some rooms have the expected constraints of a top-floor eaves conversion.
