2 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Character-filled two-bedroom home near shops, schools and the station.

Two double bedrooms; large master bedroom with ensuite
About 1,020 sq ft in a period Victorian cottage (built pre-1900)
Short walk to High Street shops, restaurants and mainline station
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; energy efficiency is limited (EPC E)
High flood risk for the location — affects insurance/mitigation costs
Local crime recorded as high — security considerations advised
Small plot size; council tax band above local average
This charming two-double-bedroom Victorian cottage sits in the heart of Berkhamsted’s conservation area, a short walk from the High Street and station. Period features — sash windows, exposed beams and an impressive open fireplace — create immediate character and warmth, while the large master bedroom includes an ensuite for added convenience.
Outside, the low-maintenance courtyard garden backs directly onto the River Bulbourne, providing a peaceful waterside aspect. The practical kitchen with shaker-style units, rear utility lobby with French doors, and a flexible rear store room/study offer sensible family living and home-working options.
Practical considerations: the house is solid-brick and likely lacks wall insulation, sits on a small plot, and has an EPC rating of E. There is a recorded high flood risk for the area and local crime levels are noted as high — both important factors for insurance and future maintenance. Council tax sits above the local average.
For families seeking a characterful, centrally located home with excellent commuter links and local schools nearby, this property offers immediate charm and sensible scope for improvement. Buyers concerned about energy efficiency, flood mitigation and security should factor these into budgets and surveys.
