Kings Road, Berkhamsted

This stunning 1930s detached home sits proudly within beautifully established south-facing gardens of around a third of an acre set elegantly back from the road in a prime position close to the town centre, schools and main line station.

The property is approached via an extensive gravelled driveway within the mature grounds. From the entrance there is an impressive reception hall with original parquet flooring setting the tone. Throughout the house, carefully chosen Crittall style windows, hardwood joinery and original panelled doors retain the character and craftsmanship of the period.

The accommodation is bright, balanced and beautifully proportioned. To the front, bay windows fill both the sitting room and the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with natural light. The sitting room centres around a wood-burning stove, while glazed sliding doors provide flexibility between spaces. The kitchen has been designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, with traditional cabinetry, granite worktops, a central island, walk in pantry and separate utility room. A garden facing study with skylights and direct access outside offers an ideal work from home space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a bay window, fitted wardrobes and a contemporary ensuite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with period inspired detailing. On the top floor, an additional bedroom and shower room provide ideal guest or teenager accommodation.

The house also has an interesting architectural connection, having once been home to Sir Evan Owen Williams (1890-1969) the celebrated engineer behind the original Wembley Stadium.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped across a series of levels, creating a variety of private spaces to sit and enjoy throughout the day. Winding paths and stone steps lead through mature planting to secluded terraces, a vegetable garden and the original coal store. To the front, the driveway provides parking for several vehicles, alongside a detached garage/workshop offering useful storage or workspace.
