Description
A pretty, Grade II listed cottage dating in part back to the 1600’s, located close to the heart of Old Amersham. The property has been thoughtfully enlarged and exquisitely refurbished throughout to provide beautifully appointed accommodation which perfectly balances all the charm and character of the age with modern contemporary living spaces.

The living accommodation has been significantly improved to provide a part open plan living room and family room which has been cleverly partitioned by using the original framework of the house as a divide. This cosy living space has wood block flooring throughout, exposed beams, a feature wood burning stove and beautiful handcrafted joinery providing storage.

To the rear of the house is a most impressive open plan kitchen and dining room. Fully vaulted with an Apex frame glass ceiling, this light filled informal living space is a joy. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of wall, base and larder style units with 'Nilestone' Quartz worktops over, French Limestone stone flooring and bi-folding doors which seamlessly open out on to the garden. Located off the kitchen is a separate ground floor utility room and W.C.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the top two floors with three bedrooms served by a remodelled and well-appointed family bath and shower room.

The property is positioned on a sunny West facing plot with extensively landscaped gardens providing a secluded but sun drenched outside space. To the rear of the property there is an outside French Limestone patio and dining area framed by original brickwork with steps up to a further Limestone tiled walkway bordered by well stocked beds, which leads to a further seating area.

To the rear of the garden is a further brick built outbuilding, currently used as a home office but also ideal as a gym, studio or similar.

Located behind the office there is an allocated parking space available on a peppercorn rent from The Crown Hotel and accessed over the car park.
