George Street, Berkhamsted

Located on one of Berkhamsted’s desirable central streets, this beautifully refurbished three bedroom period cottage dates from the mid 1860s. One of only a few cottages on the street dating from this period, it retains a wealth of original character while offering stylish contemporary accommodation arranged over three floors. NO CHAIN.

The ground floor is centred around a generous sitting and dining room, currently arranged as two separate sitting areas, providing an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. An original working brick fireplace adds character, while to the rear, the separate kitchen diner has been finished with high quality contemporary design and features Crittall style patio doors opening directly onto the garden.

The first floor provides two well proportioned bedrooms alongside a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a bath and separate shower, wash basin and WC.

The second floor is given over to a particularly generous third bedroom with useful eaves storage. A versatile room, it could be used as a principal bedroom, guest bedroom or home office.

Despite its traditional exterior, the property has a wonderfully light and spacious feel, with well defined rooms and a thoughtful blend of period features and contemporary design throughout. Originally an end of terrace property, the house benefits from a double thickness party wall to one side and an alleyway to the other, creating an unusually quiet and peaceful setting for a home on George Street.

To the rear is a beautifully private, terraced courtyard garden, conveniently accessed directly from the kitchen as well as via a shared side passage running along the alleyway. A particularly appealing outdoor space, it enjoys a good degree of sunshine when the weather allows, providing a peaceful and secluded setting for relaxing or entertaining.
