Horse Hill, Ley Hill, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5

A delightful Grade II listed character four bedroom semi detached cottage on a plot of 0.75 acre in an enviable position fronting the common and overlooking paddocks to the rear.

Description

Horse Heath Cottage is a character Grade II listed cottage, the larger of a pair of semi-detached properties in an enviable position facing the common with an equally attractive outlook over paddocks at the rear all within an ‘area of outstanding natural beauty’.

Offering a wealth of charm and character features, the accommodation is arranged in an L shape with two linked reception rooms both with beamed ceilings and an open fireplace in the sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room has fitted units with Corian worktops, and incorporates an LPG range cooker. The triple aspect study has lovely views over the gardens.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the main with a beautiful vaulted ceiling, en suite shower room and dressing room. A well appointed bath/shower room serves the remaining three bedrooms.

The cottage is tucked away along a long drive, which opens on to a large gravelled area providing plenty of parking and turning space. A large outbuilding is split into two, the front section as a double garage and the rear as a large store/games room with further potential for other uses.

The delightful plot of about three quarters of an acre, including the driveway, has direct gated access on to the common at the ‘front’ and flanks open paddocks with lovely views at the rear. There are extensive areas of lawn with mature trees, vegetable plot and pretty pond.

Location

Horse Heath Cottage directly fronting the common, is approached via a drive at the junction of Horse Hill, Middle Road and School Hill. The common offers lovely country walks and bridleways as well as being used by Chesham & Ley Hill Golf Club and Ley Hill Cricket Club.

There are two village public houses, The Crown and The Swan all providing a sense of a thriving rural community. Larger towns such as Chesham (Metropolitan Line) about two miles, Amersham (Metropolitan/Chiltern Line) about four miles and Berkhamsted (Main Line) about six miles, all provide multiple shopping facilities, amenities and stations for the London commuter.

South Bucks is renowned for its education including Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys in Amersham and the High School for girls in Little Chalfont and Chesham Co Educational Grammar School. Ley Hill also has its own popular primary school.
