Rose Cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Old Amersham's rich heritage, dating back from the 1680's and with a Grade II designation highlighting it's special architectural and historical interest. There is a wealth of period charm including a stunning inglenook fireplace with wood burner, original oak floorboards, reclaimed period doors and panelling, iron window fittings and exposed oak beams throughout. Along with two bedrooms, there is a large conservatory and a bespoke detached studio/workshop in the rear garden. The property is a stone's throw from the outstanding restaurants, pubs and boutique shopping of Old Amersham for which it is well known.

Ground Floor

Upon stepping into Rose Cottage's sitting room, cottage charm abounds with a stunning inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner, solid wood douglas fir flooring, oak beams, tongue and groove panelling and period style cast iron radiator. The room is triple aspect with a pretty picture-postcard window offering views across quintessential Old Amersham rooftops to St Mary's church tower. Moving into the country-style kitchen you have a four-ring gas hob with electric oven below and space for a free-standing fridge freezer, solid wood worktops, quarry tiled flooring and exposed beams. The kitchen opens up into an adaptable oak-framed conservatory currently utilized as a workspace with sink and utility cupboard housing the gas combi boiler and washing machine. Alternatively, this room could be used as a dining area or provide opportunity for a new kitchen. Finally, the ground floor bathroom has been updated by our vendor and comprises a white suite, slate flooring and honed marble.

Rose Cottage is accessed via a pretty private lane and sits on the southerly side of The Platt. To the front a wrought iron pedestrian gate leads to a south-facing mature garden at the rear of the property. The garden is private and offers a sunny space for outdoor entertaining and dining, lawned area, beech hedging and fruit trees.

To the rear of the garden is a fabulous bespoke vaulted studio / workshop built just seven years ago. Fully insulated, it has bronze casement windows, a Rooflight Company roof window, power supply and an attached greenhouse to the side. With lovely views across the garden back to the timber-framed cottage, this space would also make a terrific home office, gym or studio.
