Large two-bedroom apartment with west-facing balcony, double garage and share of freehold near High Street and station..
Westerly balcony with far-reaching valley views
Light-filled and well-proportioned, this two-bedroom apartment sits on the desirable Regency Heights development, a short walk from Berkhamsted High Street and station. The sitting room opens to a westerly balcony with far-reaching valley views, and both bedrooms are doubles; the master includes an en suite. Practical extras include a long double garage and two allocated parking spaces, plus a Share of Freehold and an unusually long lease (974 years).
The layout feels immediately comfortable for downsizers who want low-maintenance living with space to host: a bright entrance hall, a sizeable kitchen-breakfast room and the potential to open the kitchen into the sitting room for a larger family/social space. Communal grounds are attractively maintained and there is secure gated pedestrian access providing a convenient route to the High Street.
Be clear about the running costs: the current service charge is £3,029.52 per year and ground rent is £150 per year. The management company has notified residents of proposed lift replacement works with a cost of £2,332.52. Council Tax is band E (above average). The property has an EPC rating of C. These are manageable for buyers seeking convenience, long lease security and local amenities, but important to factor into affordability.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers looking to downsize or buy a convenient, low-maintenance base within walking distance of Berkhamsted’s services and rail links. It offers immediate comfort with straightforward potential to create a larger, open-plan living space if desired.
