6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set in an enviable elevated position with far-reaching views towards Potten End, this impressive six-bedroom family home has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a substantial and highly versatile residence ideal for modern living. Originally built in 1937 by renowned local builder Donald Lockhart, the property was the first home constructed along this stretch of London Road between Hall Park Gate and Garden Field Lane, with neighbouring houses following after the Second World War. Today, it occupies a highly convenient position within walking distance of Berkhamsted town centre and the mainline station, offering fast and direct access into London Euston in under 30 minutes, whilst also benefitting from excellent links to the A41 and M25. Extending to approximately 1,996 sq. ft. (185.5 sq. metres), the accommodation is both generous and well balanced, perfectly suited to growing families. The ground floor offers a superb selection of reception space, including a spacious south-facing lounge/dining room ideal for entertaining, a separate cosy living room for quieter evenings, and a dedicated study providing an excellent work-from-home environment. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, offering ample preparation space, excellent storage and direct access onto the rear garden, creating a sociable and practical hub for day-to-day family life. A separate utility room and ground floor cloakroom further enhance the practicality of the layout. Upstairs, six well-proportioned bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or additional workspace. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish and contemporary family bathroom. Outside, the south-west facing rear garden enjoys a sunny aspect with a generous patio leading onto an area of lawn, ideal for outdoor entertaining and family use alike. Additional outbuildings include a storage shed and an insulated summerhouse complete with power and lighting, perfectly suited for use as a home office, gym or studio. To the front, the property benefits from ample driveway parking with further potential to enlarge the frontage if desired, in addition to extra parking available on land opposite the road. The property also offers exciting scope for further extension, subject to the usual planning consents. In particular, the substantial loft space presents an excellent opportunity to create additional accommodation, whether as a luxurious principal suite, further bedrooms or a dedicated creative space.
