This well-presented four double bedroom detached home sits on a large plot in a quiet, affluent Berkhamsted suburb, a short walk from the station, town centre and preferred schools. The house offers generous living space across two storeys, including a double-aspect sitting room with feature fireplace, a spacious kitchen/diner with granite worktops and a large family room with garden access. Large picture windows bring light and elevated rear views across the town.
Practical family features include a secluded south-facing rear garden, double garage, wide block-paved driveway with space for several cars, and a utility room plus ground-floor shower/cloakroom. The property feels bright and comfortable and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed before 2002.
There are a few material issues to note. A structural engineer’s inspection recorded minor historic movement, likely linked to original settlement and window replacement; the report recommends that lintels should have been installed when timber windows were replaced. Root damage has been identified in the drains and will require repair. The house has cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), an EPC rating of E and older double glazing, so upgrading for efficiency would be sensible.
This home will suit a family seeking space, convenient commuting and strong local schools, and it also offers scope for energy improvements and sympathetic updating. Council tax is in a higher band and buyers should budget for the recommended drain repair and any structural remedial works indicated in the engineer’s report.
