Description
Backing directly on to the beautiful Grand Union Canal, yet nestled away just moments from town, this unique four double bedroom detached property enjoys the best of both worlds.
Located within a Conservation Area and curtilage listed, the property is both characterful and charming. Once part of the town's corn mill, mentioned in the Domesday book survey of 1086, this wonderful home is also steeped in history.
The property has recently undergone significant internal alterations, creating stunning light-filled interiors, with crisp, split-level accommodation designed for today’s way of living.
Inside, from the spacious entrance hall, there is a generous sitting room complete with attractive built-in storage and shelving. In the centre of hall is a large storage cupboard and stylish cloakroom.
To the far right hand side of the house, the well-appointed kitchen/dining/family room boasts a stunning exposed original lime mortar brick wall and oak timbers, thanks to its large windows and roof light, is bathed in natural light. The kitchen itself is contemporary in style with light grey wall and base units complemented by a white quartz worktop. The central island, houses storage cupboards underneath and a breakfast bar. French doors lead from the kitchen to the canalside garden.
All four bedrooms benefit from either views of the canal or the River Bulbourne.
The fabulous principal bedroom suite features a dressing room and en suite shower room, while an equally stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. There is also a useful laundry/utility cupboard.
Outside, the landscaped garden is most delightful, wrapping around the house on two sides, and can be accessed from several areas. From the kitchen is a patio and well stocked, raised sleeper flower beds. There is a lawn with a beautiful Magnolia tree, together with an impressive decked area adjacent to the canal, complete with its own pizza oven; an ideal place to relax, enjoy the views and appreciate the wildlife and narrow boats that pass by.
The remaining portion of the garden accommodates a high-quality home-office.
To the front, there is a pretty entrance canopy, providing an additional seating area. Automated, private gated access leads from Bank Mill Lane to the main courtyard which is shared by three properties in all. Part of the courtyard is allocated as parking for the property.
Location
Berkhamsted is an affluent commuter town, attracting people from all over the country with its perfect blend of amenities and countryside. Providing a haven from the madding crowd, but offering just the right balance of hustle and bustle to make it a vibrant and thriving place in which to live, the local area has much to offer, from historic roots to acres of nearby open spaces, many deemed Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Modern Berkhamsted began to expand after the canal and the railway were built in the 19th century. However, its historic roots can be traced back to 1066 when William the Conqueror became King and the magnificent Berkhamsted Castle was built for him, substantial ruins still remain today just a short walk from the town centre.
Located on the western edge of Hertfordshire and bordering on Buckinghamshire, the town is in close proximity to the Chiltern Hills, the National Trust’s Ashridge Forest, and the Grand Union Canal, making it ideal for dog lovers, ramblers and cyclists. In the High Street itself, you can enjoy browsing the eclectic range of independent shops and bustling markets on a Wednesday and Saturday, and take advantage of the many charming coffee shops, restaurants and traditional pubs.
Another reason for Berkhamsted’s enduring popularity is the quality of education to be had in the town. The prestigious, independent Berkhamsted School, plus the many highly acclaimed state schools from primary to secondary, provide a wonderful learning environment for all ages. While for the performing arts, there is the world-renowned Tring Park School in nearby Tring, just 5 miles away. Across the county boundary to Buckinghamshire, there is even the opportunity for children to take the 11+ for admission to the county’s grammar schools.
Excellent transport links for commuters makes Berkhamsted an obvious choice. The town perfectly combines convenient connections to the capital and beyond, with its own train station offering direct access to London Euston in under 40 minutes and easy access to major road networks via the A41 and M25.
