Sycamore Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home that has been thoughtfully updated for modern family life, whilst retaining the charm and architectural character.

Description

A handsome Arts and Crafts family home dating from 1931, beautifully renovated and remodelled to provide exceptional family accommodation while retaining the character, proportions and architectural integrity of the original house.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of works with considerable care and attention to detail. The result is a highly comfortable and versatile home that combines contemporary family living with a wealth of period character, including carefully restored original features while updating the energy efficiency resulting in the EPC being a high B.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and extends to a generous and well-balanced layout. There is potential to create annex/secondary accommodation within the current structure.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms, cloakroom and staircase to the first floor, with useful storage beneath. Positioned at the front of the house is a well-appointed study, while the elegant sitting room features a stunning original fireplace, which has been sympathetically restored to form an attractive focal point.

To the rear is the impressive kitchen and dining room with two sets of double doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of base and eyelevel units, centred around a substantial island with breakfast bar. A combination of wood block and granite work surfaces complements the traditional butler sink with drinking water tap and hot water tap. There is a Smeg range cooker with pot tap above, a Whirlpool integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer.

Adjoining the kitchen is a generous family room, providing a more informal space for everyday living. Further double doors open onto the rear garden, while a second staircase provides access to the first floor. The family room also leads through to a useful boot room/utility area, which in turn gives access to the garage.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dressing room and en-suite shower room. There are four further double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath/shower room. Bedroom two also has the additional benefit of a balcony overlooking the rear garden.

The second floor provides further versatility, with a home office, sixth bedroom with doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, a wet room/bathroom and walk-in storage.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property. To the rear, a substantial patio provides an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining and includes a covered seating area. Beyond, the garden extends to a generous area of lawn, interspersed with mature fruit trees and established planting. A separate studio/home gym provides an additional flexible space, complemented by a useful storage shed.

To the front, a private driveway provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and substantial period home that has been thoughtfully updated for modern family life, whilst retaining the charm and architectural character of its Arts and Crafts origins.

Agents Note: This property benefits both hot water and solar PV panels as well as 9Kwh battery and an EV charger.
