" Overview

A substantial detached 1950s family home situated in one of the most sought after roads in Berkhamsted. Ideally located for the commuter with the mainline station to London Euston, shops and extensive cafe culture all within a short walk. To the front a large block paved driveway provides parking for at least 4 vehicles, One of the most striking features of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room which provides a central gathering point for the whole family. The extensive range of beech kitchen units is finished with a granite work surface and includes a Siemens integrated dishwasher. A stainless steel Falcon range cooker and hood provides a contemporary accent to this attractive room. Leading off the kitchen is a formal dining room and recently refitted utility room with integral dryer and washing machine, sink over and fitted units providing additional storage. The sitting room, which looks out to the front aspect, is flooded with natural light from the bay window. The property further benefits from two additional reception rooms, both of which enjoy views of the garden, with one currently used as a study/home office. From the main entrance there is a lovely hallway with cloakroom with doors leading off to all downstairs rooms.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, providing excellent family accommodation. The spacious bathroom was refitted just over a year ago and now includes a walk in shower cubicle, leading off the landing is an additional and brand new shower room with WC. Over the last year the owner has installed new loft and cavity wall insulation and the original gutters and fascias have been replaced with modern UPVC for low maintenance. The large approximately west facing garden provides an ideal family space with patio areas for summer furniture, along with well stocked borders, a greenhouse and shed for the keen gardener. A particular feature is the vine covered pergola which offers shade to raised vegetable beds.
