Set on a rare plot of around 0.3 acre and dating from 1928, this detached house marries period character with adaptable modern living. Original features such as panelled doors, brick fireplaces and the handsome staircase sit alongside thoughtfully extended living areas: a sitting room, music room, family room, study and a generous kitchen/breakfast space with bifold doors to the garden.
Accommodation is well suited to multi-generational family life. There are five good-sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room and en suite plus a ground-floor bedroom with its own en suite and private entrance — useful for an older relative, au pair or independent teenager. Practical additions include a separate utility room, downstairs cloakroom and plentiful built-in storage.
Outside, a 100ft rear garden, patio and pond create a private, child-friendly outdoor space, while the gravel driveway and detached double garage provide substantial parking. The house sits under 0.5 miles from Berkhamsted town centre and the mainline station, with a mix of state and independent schools nearby and fast broadband available.
Buyers should note the property’s age and classic construction: while the home has been extended and well cared-for, older houses of this period can require ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and a number of nearby primary schools have mixed Ofsted results — local school choice may be a consideration for some families.
