4 bedroom terraced house for sale

An elegant weave of history, light and quiet modernity, No.4 Castle Street forms an integral part of the storied fabric of Berkhamsted’s Conservation Area, just footsteps from the bustle of the High Street and a five-minute walk to the station.A four-bedroom Georgian townhouse that quietly reveals its depth and character as you move through it, the property sits in the gentle shadow of St Peter’s Church - a setting that is not only picturesque, but deeply rooted in the town’s historical narrative.Grade II listed, the property dates to the 18th century, with a 19th-century facade that speaks to its evolving identity: once a shop, now a private residence. A distinctive Victorian shopfront window remains - a charming architectural relic that floods the front reception with light while perfectly framing a view of the church. Across the frontage, carefully restored period black tiles add visual rhythm and texture.Inside, the architecture unfolds with measured elegance. The entrance hall sets the tone - welcoming and unexpectedly generous in proportion. It opens into a front room that functions beautifully as a study or family space. From here, the house draws you inward, past a fireside sitting room with a woodburning stove, and up a step to the dining room which is designed for convivial gatherings. The kitchen lies to the rear, its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams lending a rustic softness, complemented by an adjacent utility room and discreet cloakroom.The upper floors follow a calm and natural progression. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a commanding view of the church and adjacent war memorial, while two further double bedrooms offer distinct character, generous light and views that reflect the home’s remarkable location. In one of the rooms, a pencil inscription dated 1857 remains faintly visible - an intimate detail left by a former occupant, quietly anchoring the space in time. A sleek, modern shower room also serves this level.Up above, tucked beneath the eaves, the fourth bedroom is full of character and charm, with access to a large attic and served by a second, large contemporary shower room.Outside, the rear courtyard offers a moment of complete retreat: a private, urban sanctuary with a whisper of Mediterranean cool. Enclosed and unexpectedly quiet, it provides beautiful space for alfresco living, and even the potential to accommodate a small car, accessed via double doors onto Castle Street. Shared access for a neighbouring property crosses the driveway behind the double doors, adding another thread to the layered story of this much-loved home.No. 4 Castle Street is, at its core, a building of quiet contrasts. Modest from the street, yet expansive within. Rich with heritage, yet attuned to modern living. A home not only of historical significance, but one of genuine architectural delight.
