Chartridge Lane, Chesham, HP5

This attractive cottage has been carefully restored and updated in recent years to provide comfortable accommodation for family living. The living space downstairs comprises two formal reception rooms, both with exposed beams. The sitting room has a stable door to the front garden, and an attractive inglenook fireplace with wood burner. An inner vestibule from the sitting room provides access to a practical utility room, a cloakroom and a staircase that rises to the first floor. A contemporary glass corridor leads to a delightful double-glazed orangery that overlooks the beautiful gardens. The well-appointed kitchen is of a country cottage style and offers an extensive range of fitted cabinetry together with integrated appliances and Corian worktops.

Situated on the first floor are three principal bedrooms together with a versatile fourth bedroom, study or dressing room. Servicing the bedrooms is an en suite night cloakroom together with a luxury family bathroom.

To the front of the house is a large barn, which is currently used for storage but has the benefit of a planning consent to convert into family annexe/living accommodation (three bedrooms, two baths). We believe that this exciting space poses an excellent opportunity for the new owner to create guest quarters or a potential workplace/studio.
