High Street, Amersham, Buckinghamshire

Steeped in local history, this attractive Grade II listed residence originates from the 17th Century and enjoys a prominent position on Amersham’s ‘Old Town’. In recent times, the current owner has obtained planning permission to significantly enhance the living accommodation with features including an attic conversion that would create a large double bedroom and a luxurious shower room. The ground floor would also be re-modelled and extended, featuring an impressive open plan kitchen with entertaining area and family room. Externally, the current garage/store (located beyond the south facing gardens) would be converted into a versatile studio/annexe.

The existing accommodation comprises a welcoming panelled entrance hall. An archway leads into an inner vestibule that has a cloakroom and a staircase beyond that rises to the first floor. Overlooking the High Street to the front, is a delightfully cosy sitting room that affords a large fireplace, ornate ceiling beams and partially panelled walls. The country kitchen is positioned at the heart of the house, offering ample space for dining. There is a walk-in pantry to one side with original features and a separate scullery. Beyond the kitchen is a large utility room with external access and an adjacent store room leading to the south facing walled garden.

To the first floor are three individual bedrooms including an impressive dual aspect double bedroom with a decorative fireplace and vanity unit. All bedrooms are currently serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate
night cloakroom.

The historic market town of Amersham enjoys an idyllic setting at the heat of the Chilterns. Within the town centre are a variety of renowned restaurants, cafes and bars together with boutique clothing shops. There is also a Tesco superstore within one mile. The area is also noted for its excellent schools, with the property falling within catchment for St Mary’s Primary and Dr Challoners Grammer School. For the commuter, Amersham train station provides Metropolitan and Chiltern line services to London via Baker Street and Marylebone respectively.
