Berkhamsted
What makes
Berkhamsted special.
Berkhamsted is, by any measure, one of the most desirable market towns in the Home Counties. A Norman castle, a canal, the Chiltern Hills AONB on its northern edge, one of the country’s finest independent schools, and a high street that actually functions as a high street.
The train service is the headline stat: 32 minutes to London Euston, multiple services per hour. For buyers making the move out of the capital, Berkhamsted often becomes the destination rather than just the option.
