Kings Road, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire HP4

Set just moments from the High Street, and only a short walk from local schools and the railway station, this handsome Victorian home sits with quiet confidence: a considered presence in a prime location close to it all.

Thoughtfully extended and sensitively refurbished, the property now offers beautifully adaptable living while honouring every inch of its heritage.

Arranged over three floors, the house has been lovingly restored by the current owners, who have undertaken the work with painstaking attention to detail. Original doors, picture rails and fireplaces have been carefully retained, while underfloor heating in the kitchen and main bathroom brings discreet modern comfort. Renovated double-glazed sash windows complete the carefully judged balance between past and present.

Inside, the entrance hall sets the tone: patterned Bert & May tiles underfoot and a quiet sense of arrival. To the right, the sitting room unfolds with a wide bay of natural light. Bespoke built-in bookcases, Amtico brushed oak flooring and a wood-burning stove with exposed brick surround all lend a feeling of warmth and grounding. Beyond, a secondary space offers additional flexibility.

At the heart of the house lies the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room - a generous, uplifting space stretching over 31 feet. A pitched roof, multiple skylights and a wall of bifold doors create a soft, ever-changing interplay of light throughout the day. Contemporary cabinetry, quartz worktops and a breakfast bar form a kitchen that is as practical as it is inviting. A door leads out to a pretty side courtyard and herb garden, while a cloakroom tucked neatly beneath the stairs completes the ground floor.

The upper floors hold the bedrooms. On the first, two doubles and a single sit alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Traditional in feel, it features period sanitaryware, a claw-foot bath and a walk-in shower.

The principal bedroom crowns the top floor. Filled with natural light, it offers clever eaves storage that keeps the space uncluttered, while the en suite, with its traditional detailing and twin basins, brings a sense of quiet luxury.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy. Landscaped with a patio, level lawn and planted borders, it also includes a neatly divided shed - storage on one side and, on the other, a small bar with a fridge for summer gatherings. At the front, reinstated iron railings frame a path leading to the newly-fitted front door from the London Door Company, painted a sumptuous shade of plum.

This is a period home reimagined with care and clarity - a fine house where heritage, craft and contemporary family living all find their footing. And right in the heart of Berkhamsted’s elegant town centre, too.
