This spacious split-level penthouse at the heart of Berkhamsted delivers versatile living across 920 sq ft, freshly renovated for modern comfort. A bright open-plan kitchen/diner opens onto a private balcony, while the generous lounge and main double bedroom sit on the principal level. Upstairs a loft room and a further bedroom/study offer flexible space for guests, home working or a creative studio.
Recent upgrades include new windows, a new heating and hot-water system and a new roof installed last year, so the property is largely move-in ready. The long lease (977 years) provides security, and mains gas central heating with radiators keeps running costs straightforward. There is no flood risk.
Location is a major strength: step straight onto Berkhamsted High Street’s cafés, shops and restaurants, and walk to Berkhamsted station for direct trains to London in under 40 minutes. The Grand Union Canal and Chiltern Hills are close by for countryside walks.
Notable practical points: the apartment is leasehold, council tax is above average and the building’s original solid-brick walls are presumed uninsulated, which could mean further insulation work if you prioritise thermal efficiency. The town centre setting means there’s no private garden and local crime statistics are higher than average — factors to weigh against the convenience and space on offer.
