A gracious Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Castle Street, steps from Berkhamsted High Street and a five-minute walk to the station. The house combines preserved period detail — sash windows, high ceilings and a historic Victorian shopfront window — with generous, well-proportioned living rooms that suit family life and entertaining.
Interior highlights include a fireside sitting room with woodburning stove, a vaulted kitchen with exposed beams, and four bedrooms each with individual character. The principal bedroom enjoys direct views of St Peter’s Church, and an attic bedroom provides flexible space for guests or a home office. The small rear courtyard is a private, quiet retreat for alfresco dining.
Practical considerations are significant: the property’s listed status will complicate alterations and maintenance, and any renovation work will need appropriate consents. The courtyard offers parking potential via double doors but access is shared with a neighbour, which may limit convenience. Council tax is high, and the immediate area records elevated crime levels — factors buyers should weigh alongside the home’s many strengths.
This home suits families or professionals who value historic character, central convenience and a property with scope for sensitive updating rather than a turnkey move. For those prepared to work within listed-building constraints, No. 9 Castle Street offers a rare blend of heritage charm and practical, contemporary living in a highly desirable Berkhamsted location.
