THE PROPERTY
This individual, beautifully maintained family home was constructed some 26 years ago for the present owner, and is today available to purchase for the very first time since.

Situated in a tucked-away location, at the end of its own 130ft private drive, this substantial home enjoys a mature plot of around a quarter of an acre and a southerly facing garden.

Inside, as you enter the large, split-level entrance hall complete with vaulted ceiling, the sense of both space and quality is clear to see. A bespoke, luxury specification was chosen by the original occupier who still resides at the property today, and includes solid mahogany windows, architraves and skirting boards.

As living accommodation, the sitting and dining rooms both enjoy a sunny, southerly aspect, with views over the garden. The generously proportioned office/study is suited to those wishing to work from home, or could be the perfect playroom or TV room for teenagers. The kitchen/breakfast room has a separate utility room, and there is also a cloakroom.

The four double bedrooms are all generously proportioned and have fitted wardrobes. As you may expect, bathrooms are well catered for; the master bedroom with its en suite bathroom, while a family bathroom and separate shower room serve the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the property is situated mid-plot, with gardens mainly to the rear and side. Parking provision is nothing short of excellent; in addition to the long driveway and parking area, there is a large double garage with workshop area, complete with heating, power, lighting and an electrically operated door.

Finally, and perhaps equally as important, the location of the property is excellent. Little more than half a mile from the High Street and a mile from the station, the town`s schools, shops, road and train links are all close enough to be convenient, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle.



LOCATION
The property is located in a sought after location, 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 Laura Ashley. 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.
