No upward chain. Victorian home, rarely available and located on a desirable street in the historic Old Town. The property is arranged with accommodation spanning three floors and retains many original features. Offered with no upper chain.

The ground floor features a cozy living room with a bay sash window and an original cast iron open fireplace, complete with an ornate mantle, decorative tiled cheeks, and a tiled hearth. The room also boasts stripped and varnished pine flooring. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room, also with stripped pine flooring, The property benefits from double glazing throughout, with the original sash window as a charming feature. The welcoming entrance hall connects the various areas of the home, offering access to the first floor, lower ground floor, a convenient guest cloakroom, and a raised outdoor terrace that overlooks the rear garden. Steps from the terrace lead down to a tranquil, well-kept south-facing garden.

On the lower ground floor, you'll find a spacious kitchen and breakfast room, which opens directly onto a sunken patio, ideal for outdoor dining. The kitchen features shaker-style wall and floor units, Corian work surfaces, a dual-fuel Rangemaster cooker with an extractor hood, a large pantry, and tiled flooring. At the rear of the property is a private and practical home office, complete with underfloor heating. This versatile space is perfect for remote work or creative pursuits and is accessed via the lower ground patio. The landscaped garden includes a sunken patio and a well-maintained lawn surrounded by mature herbaceous borders, with gated rear access.

The first floor is home to three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The primary bedroom features a bay sash window offering panoramic rooftop views, as well as a charming cast iron fireplace. The refitted family bathroom includes a panelled bath with a rainfall shower overhead, a handheld shower attachment, and a fitted shower screen; a pedestal wash basin; a low-level WC; and a chrome heated towel rail.

We highly recommend scheduling a viewing to appreciate all this lovely period home has to offer.

The nearby Old Town High Street has been described as the prettiest road in the country, with Victorian architecture, beautiful St Mary's Church, the Town Hall, cobbled streets, restaurants, public houses, and boutique shops. Gadebridge Adventure Park, with a large playground, skate park, and splash park, is also close at hand.

Hemel Hempstead town centre, with the Riverside and Marlowes shopping centres, offers a full range of facilities and amenities. And for commuters, both the M1 and M25 are nearby, as is the mainline railway station, which provides a fast and frequent service to London Euston
