Set on a quiet in-and-out road with just four neighbouring houses, this extended 1930s semi-detached home suits a growing family seeking private outdoor space and flexible living. The layout provides three reception rooms, four bedrooms and two ensuite bathrooms, arranged over multiple storeys for clear family zones and guest privacy.
The rear includes a large covered entertaining area and private gardens front and back, ideal for children, pets and year-round outdoor use. A generous garage sits to the side and could be converted into a self-contained annexe or home office subject to building regulations and planning — offering extra living space or potential income.
There is scope to enlarge the house further (potential to extend STPP) if you want to create more internal space. Practical considerations: the home sits on solid brick walls with no known insulation, has an EPC rating of D, and broadband speeds are very slow — buyers should factor in improvement costs for energy efficiency and connectivity.
Internally the house is well proportioned but overall floor area is modest (around 624 sq ft), so families should view to judge room sizes. Good local schools and easy driving access to Berkhamsted town and station make the location strong for school runs and commuting, while the large plot retains a countryside feel despite being close to town amenities.
