Latimer Road, Chesham, HP5

A charming Grade II listed semi detached cottage presented in fine decorative order, offering a wealth of character features throughout. The property also boasts a most idyllic waterside garden, providing a fabulous outdoor entertaining space.

For day to day access to the house, there is a welcoming entrance portico with cloakroom to the rear that offers access to the dining room and the kitchen. The kitchen itself is of a 'Country Cottage' style with pine hand crafted cabinetry, a large range oven as its centrepiece and set upon an attractive tiled floor. The dining room enjoys a light and airy double aspect with views across the delightful gardens. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a gorgeous sitting room that boasts a magnificent stone fireplace which is set upon a quarry tiled floor.

To the first floor are two good size bedrooms and a family bathroom. A second staircase then leads to an additional bedroom in the eaves of this characterful period home.

Outside

The property is approached to the front via a spacious gravel driveway that provides off road parking. Beyond the drive, a set of wooden gates open onto a further area of hardstanding and in turn, the rear gardens. A small lawn garden and pathway to one side leads to the original front entrance; this area is enclosed from the road via an ornate low bearing wall.

The beautiful gardens to the rear enjoy a high degree of privacy with mature native trees and hedges forming a natural screen. A charming feature of the garden is the river chess which meanders through the garden, whilst a pretty wooden footbridge provides access between the lawned areas. Adjoining the house is an attractive terrace for outdoor entertaining and to one side is a practical utility and a separate home office that could be utilised as an occasional guest room if required.

Our clients have provided us with additional plans to extend the rear of the house that would create a further reception room and a guest bedroom with en suite to the ground floor. These plans would require planning permission in the usual way, but can be made available upon request.

Situation

This beautiful cottage occupies a delightful position in the heart of the Chilterns on the edge of Chesham Bois, Chesham and Latimer village.
