Holliday Street, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4

This compact Victorian terrace has a clean, usable base and a lovely period fireplace, with a private paved courtyard adding a practical outdoor space. The dated kitchen and bathroom fittings offer a clear, light-touch route to refresh the interior, while the courtyard could be improved with a little planting or tidying. The £6,000–£15,000 renovation range suggests a manageable cosmetic project, but at £350,000 the asking price is around 7.3% above the local £/sq ft average, rather than a value-led entry point. All-in purchase and refurbishment costs therefore look tight against local benchmarks, so the project’s appeal rests more on its character and scope to personalise than on obvious buying margin.
