THE PROPERTY
This sizeable, well maintained family home is available for sale for the first time in over forty years, and now presents a wonderful opportunity for the next family to modernise and extend it to their own specification, before enjoying it themselves for years to come.

Constructed in the mid 1960s, the property boasts much of what was good about architectural design of the era; large, picture windows, parquet floors, and generously proportioned rooms are all to be found here, along with a gorgeous, spacious plot of around a fifth of an acre.

Inside, the large, welcoming hallway leads through to two separate reception rooms, both of which have an open, light and airy feel, thanks to their dual aspects. The sitting room is located to the front of the house and has an open fireplace, while the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room both enjoy views of the lovely, flat rear garden. A useful utility room is to be found just off the kitchen, which also provides access into the garage. Last but not least, the ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom, and storage is excellent thanks to a large, walk-in cupboard, just off the hall.

Upstairs, there is an impressive, wide landing, along with five double bedrooms. The master bedroom features an en suite bathroom, and there are fitted wardrobes to three of the bedrooms. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, and has a separate, additional wc adjacent to it.

Outside, the rear garden is sizeable, measuring approximately 70ft x 65ft. Laid to lawn and well stocked with shrubs and perennials, it has clearly been lovingly maintained for the past forty years. A large, full-width patio takes advantage of the afternoon sun, while a spectacular oak tree majestically crowns the far end of the garden, providing a little welcome shade in the hottest of summer days.

A block paved driveway is located to the front of the house which, together with the garage and adjacent carport, provides parking for a number of cars.

Today, the property offers a superb opportunity for its next owners to create their perfect residence, and continue its track record as a very happy family home.


LOCATION
The property is located in a sought after cul-de-sac, close to schools and only around 0.7 mile from the town centre.

Berkhamsted itself is a busy market town, located to the West of Hertfordshire and just 30 minutes from London by train. Perhaps the town`s most prominent role in National affairs came in 1066 when William the Conqueror was handed the English Crown. Berkhamsted Castle was built following the granting of the crown, and famous names associated with it include Geoffrey Chaucer who was Clerk of Works, and Thomas Becket who was Constable of the Castle in the 12th Century. Substantial ruins of the Castle still remain today.

Today, the town is highly desirable for commuters, with excellent transport links by road and rail. The mainline train station provides a regular and direct link to London Euston in a little over 30 minutes. Major road connections nearby include the M25 (J20) and the M1 (J8 and J9). The A41 dual carriageway runs to the South of the town, providing an excellent connection to Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Tring and Aylesbury.

There is a good range of leisure facilities in the area. There is walking and riding just minutes away in the surrounding countryside and on the National Trust`s 5,000 acre Ashridge Estate, while nearby golf courses include Ashridge, Berkhamsted, Mentmore and The Grove. The area offers excellent schooling, including Berkhamsted School, founded in 1541, and Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.

Berkhamsted offers a wide range of shopping, from independent boutiques to National names such as Waitrose and WH Smith. The larger towns of Hemel Hempstead and Watford offer wider facilities, including Debenhams and John Lewis department stores respectively. Milton Keynes and London are both easily accessible too.
