THE PROPERTY
This handsome and substantial, five bedroom residence enjoys an exclusive location less than a mile from Berkhamsted`s town centre, and represents the epitome of timeless, sophisticated family living.

Inside, the beautifully presented accommodation is larger than expected, and extends over three floors. The sizeable ground floor includes a wide, welcoming entrance hall, together with no less than four, large reception areas, plus a large, double glazed conservatory. The contemporary kitchen/breakfast room comes complete with quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances, and there is also a useful, good size utility room immediately off it. Last but not least, the ground floor also includes a cloakroom.

Upstairs, on the first floor, four of the property`s five bedrooms can be found. The luxurious master bedroom features a dressing room and an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Ascend again to the second floor where a stunning fifth bedroom enjoys glorious views over the rear garden, thanks to its Juliet balcony. Beautiful countryside views can also be enjoyed to the side through the large velux windows. This floor also features a contemporary bathroom with large jacuzzi bath.

Outside, the property enjoys a tangible sense of space while, at the same time, a feeling of privacy and seclusion. The mature and sizeable rear garden is both comprehensively planted and beautifully maintained. At around 130ft in length, it offers plenty of space for children to play, adults to relax, or even the largest group of family and friends to be entertained on a summer`s afternoon. Two well positioned patios offer the opportunity to catch the sun for morning coffee, or evening drinks.

The property offers a substantial amount of storage space throughout.

To the front, the gravel driveway provides ample parking, while the garage offers further parking or very useful storage.

In all, the property enjoys a plot of approximately 0.25 acre.

LOCATION
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 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 M&S Simply Food. 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.
