It includes a ‘semi-open plan’ sitting and dining room, which has an incomplete rounded-edge wall dividing them.
The estate agent handling the sale of Headlands House is Fine & Country, which explained: ‘The ingenious design creates a sense of privacy between the rooms while offering an ideal space for larger gatherings and entertainment.’
It added: ‘The curved windows spanning the rear of these rooms maximise the opportunity to enjoy the westerly views and witness stunning sunsets.’
There is also a bedroom on the ground floor, as well as three further bedrooms on the first floor.
Outside, there are low-maintenance grounds, including a substantial wildflower area and a large lawn. In total, the property sits in 1.39 acres of land.
There are outbuildings, including a coach house-style garage with additional storage space.
In total, the convex property spreads across 3,540 square feet, the equivalent of around 329 square metres.
Berkhamsted has good transport links, particularly for those commuting into London, with a train station giving direct access to London Euston in less than 40 minutes.
There are also major road networks accessible via the A41 and M25.
