Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire

Full property description

Castles Estate Agents are delighted to present this well-proportioned retirement maisonette in Berkhamsted, exclusively available to those aged 55 and over. Ideally positioned close to local amenities, excellent transport links and the picturesque Grand Union Canal, the property offers both convenience and a peaceful setting. Accessed via its own private ground floor entrance, the property benefits from a small private front garden and a shared front porch cupboard with No.7 — ideal for secure deliveries, tool storage and housing the meters. Stairs rise to the first floor where the accommodation extends to approximately 610 sq ft. The layout is thoughtfully arranged, featuring a generous living room with ample space for both seating and dining, enhanced by excellent natural light. The fitted kitchen is positioned just off the hallway and provides practical workspace and storage for everyday use. There are two bedrooms, including a comfortable principal double bedroom and a second bedroom ideal for guests, a study or hobby room. A modern shower room completes the accommodation, well-appointed and designed with ease of use in mind. The property is warmed by an efficient modern gas combi boiler and further benefits from access to a boarded and insulated loft, providing valuable additional storage space. Offered with a long lease of approximately 150 years (notably longer than the standard 99 years typically granted by the freeholder), the development is exclusively for the over 55s and offers independent living within a well-maintained and established community. Residents benefit from a 24-hour emergency call system, a visiting estate manager, and adequate shared parking for the maisonettes within the development — providing both independence and peace of mind. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to downsize to a manageable, low-maintenance home in one of Berkhamsted’s most desirable locations.
