Positioned on one of Berkhamsted’s most sought-after streets, this early 1920s detached home sits within a rare quarter-acre plot just moments from town, schools and the station. The house retains original joinery, period fireplaces and a distinctive stained-glass front door, delivering immediate character and presence that will appeal to buyers seeking authenticity and space in a central location.
The accommodation is thoughtfully extended and flexible: three ground-floor bedrooms including a principal suite, a study, generous reception rooms and a fourth bedroom above with large attic space offering clear potential to adapt or extend (subject to consents). The kitchen benefits from a walk-in pantry and adjoining utility room, while well-proportioned reception rooms are anchored by traditional fireplaces and original chimney alcove cupboards.
Outside, the southerly-facing rear garden is mature and private, with an approximately 80-foot lawn, established planting, greenhouse and two original 1920s outbuildings of notable craftsmanship. The front garden is enclosed by a high beech hedge for seclusion; driveway parking leads to a substantial carport — a rare combination of space and central convenience.
The house has been cherished by the same owners for decades and therefore shows enduring quality of build, but it is not a modern new-build. Some updating and careful maintenance will be required to meet contemporary living standards, and the expansive attic, while full of potential, will need work and planning should you choose to convert. Council tax is high; local primary schools include a mix of Ofsted outcomes (several rated “Requires improvement”), while nearby secondary and independent options are strong.
