4 bedroom house to rent

Handsome, elegant and sympathetically refurbished to an exceptional standard, this handsome four bedroom period home is located in the heart of the town centre and comes with the unusual benefit of having off-road parking for two cars.

Stylishly decorated in muted greys, the property combines period elegance with modern living spaces. Beautiful features include original, decorative fireplaces, double glazed sash windows with period-style shutters, lovely tiled floors and original cornicing.

The spacious accommodation spans three floors, and is light, bright and versatile. There are two good size reception rooms, while the breathtaking, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room has bi-fold doors that open out onto the rear terrace. The kitchen is luxuriously fitted and includes a central island and granite work surfaces, together with appliances - a Rangemaster cooker with gas hob and double electric ovens, AEG fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and wine cooler. A cloakroom/shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, three double bedrooms can be found, one with an en suite bathroom. A very stylish family bathroom with a separate shower serves the remaining rooms.

Up again to the top floor, the fourth double bedroom has wonderful views of the roof tops of Berkhamsted, and has ample storage plus its own en suite shower room.

Outside, the attractive rear garden is laid to shingle and has a patio; accessed directly from the kitchen, it is the perfect space for al fresco dining or entertaining on a summer's weekend. A gate leads to the driveway which provides off road parking for two cars - a very welcome feature for a period property in the town centre!

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.
