West-facing rear garden with shed and flagged patio

This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in central Berkhamsted combines period character with town-centre convenience — offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. Sash windows, fireplaces and stripped wooden floorboards give the rooms warmth and charm, while the first-floor bathroom and separate dining room add practical, family-friendly layout options.
The west-facing rear garden is private, lawned and low-maintenance, with a flagged patio and a garden shed. Several neighbouring properties have converted the rear section of their plots to driveway parking, so there is clear scope to add off-street parking subject to consent. At around 740 sq ft, the house is a typical town cottage footprint: compact but well laid out across two storeys.
Important factual points: the house sits on solid brick walls (original construction, no added insulation assumed) and has double glazing installed before 2002 — both relevant to anyone considering insulation or window upgrades. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. The property is freehold, in an affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for remote working and modern living.
This home will suit first-time buyers or small families who value character and a central location and who are willing to carry out modest modernisation to improve energy efficiency or personalise the layout. It is also appropriate as a buy-to-let, given Berkhamsted’s strong rental appeal and local schools, shops and transport links.
