Description

Nestled in an elevated position with expansive views towards Potten End, this well-proportioned six-bedroom residence offers significant potential for renovation and expansion. Originally built in 1937 by noted local builder Donald Lockhart, it stands as one of the first homes along this stretch of London Road, boasting a coveted location within easy reach of Berkhamsted's town centre and mainline station, which provides a swift service to London Euston in under 30 minutes, plus convenient access to major roadways like the A41 and M25. Spanning approximately 185.5 sq. metres (1,996 sq. feet), the property features a layout that can be easily reconfigured to suit modern needs. The ample reception spaces include a bright south-facing lounge/dining area well-suited for gatherings, along with a separate living room ideal for quieter moments, and a dedicated study perfect for remote work. The heart of the home is its spacious kitchen/breakfast room, offering plenty of worktop space and direct garden access—an inviting area for family interactions. Complementing this are practical amenities such as a utility room and ground floor WC. Upstairs reveals six versatile bedrooms that cater well to families or can accommodate guests and office spaces alike. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms share a modern family bathroom. Outside, the sunny south-west facing rear garden features a patio area leading onto a generous lawn—an excellent backdrop for entertaining or playtime. Additional outbuildings include a shed and an insulated summerhouse equipped with power and lighting, making it suitable for varied uses such as an office or gym. The front of the property provides ample driveway parking with potential for extended parking space into the front garden if required. Crucially, there is promising scope for further development in line with planning permissions—particularly considering the spacious loft that could be transformed into additional living quarters or studio space.
