5 bed detached house for sale

Oakway, Amersham HP6

Malvern is positioned on one of Chesham Bois’ most sought-after residential roads, prized for its quiet no-through setting, strong sense of privacy and easy access to both local amenities and open countryside, including Chesham Bois Wood. Set well back from the road behind a generous frontage, gated entrance and mature planting, the house makes an immediate impression.

Originally built in 1918, this elegant Edwardian home has been carefully reimagined for modern living. A substantial two-storey extension and a stylish studio annexe created from a former garage have significantly enhanced the accommodation, offering 2964 sq. Ft of internal living space and excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, an au pair or independent older children. Period features have been retained and sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes, creating a home that feels both characterful and modern.

The centrepiece of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and breakfast room a light-filled, sociable space designed for everyday living and entertaining. Refitted in 2020, the kitchen features modern farmhouse-style cabinetry, a Belfast sink, premium AEG appliances and a large island with breakfast seating. A separate laundry room provides additional storage and practicality.

To the front of the house, a comfortable sitting room with wood-burning stove offers a more intimate retreat, while to the rear, a striking Victorian-style glass orangery forms a superb family room with panoramic garden views and doors opening directly onto the outside. A dedicated study provides an ideal home-working environment, alongside a discreet cloakroom.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around a central landing and includes an outstanding principal suite with a fully fitted dressing room, en suite shower room and a freestanding bath positioned within the bedroom itself. A second en suite bedroom is perfect for guests, while two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The house sits on 0.36 acres within beautifully landscaped, fully enclosed gardens that have been thoughtfully designed for entertaining and outdoor living. Electric gates open onto a large gravel driveway with EV charging point, while established trees and planting create a strong sense of seclusion. The gardens include formal lawned areas, a tranquil koi pond, multiple seating areas, a pergola-covered outdoor kitchen and a productive kitchen garden with raised brick beds. External CCTV provides added security throughout the grounds.
