St. Peter's Church, Berkhamsted.
by Winstainforth
Berkhamsted, an attractive market town in Hertfordshire, offers a mix of properties, from charming period cottages and Georgian townhouses to more modern family homes and contemporary developments. The older properties, particularly those in the town centre or near the picturesque High Street, may come with challenges such as maintaining period features, aging roof structures, or the need for updates to plumbing and electrical systems. Newer homes, especially those in developments on the town’s outskirts, may require checks to ensure they meet all current expectations.
Berkhamsted boasts excellent transport links, with direct train services to London Euston in under 40 minutes, making it a popular choice for commuters. The town itself offers a range of local amenities, including independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and schools, while the surrounding countryside provides scenic walking routes and outdoor activities. With its blend of historical charm, great connectivity, and vibrant community atmosphere, Berkhamsted is an appealing choice for families, professionals, and anyone seeking a balance of rural tranquillity and urban convenience.
