ACCOMMODATION
An extremely rare opportunity to acquire this unique and hidden away four bedroom family home in a prime location being next to both the town centre of Chesham and the outstanding Green Belt Chiltern Hills. Very close to the underground station (owner advised trains not heard), Lowndes park and countryside walks across open land beyond.
A gravel drive to the front of the home provides plenty of parking. To the side of the property there is a fully insulated, timber building with both lighting & heating. This is accessible from the garden and also undercover from the kitchen and in addition accessed from the driveway, meaning it is perfect for an office, studio, craft room or games room as it is now. Ideal for a growing family with members working from home.
Inside, this exceptionally light and sunny home, offers four / five reception rooms with a country style triple aspect kitchen. Appliances include a gas Aga that also provides heating, Franke adaptable sink designed by Porsche and integrated appliances:- dishwasher, fridge & combi washer/dryer. The kitchen currently has a seating area and dining area whilst the next room could be used for a playroom, family room, table-tennis room as now or even a dining area or knocked through to extend the actual kitchen. The principal reception room has doors leading out to the south facing part of the garden, with its double aspect making the room very light and airy bringing the outside in. A step down from the main living room is a bright sunny area that is currently being used for music. Additionally there is a double aspect formal dining room which is ideal for large family events or even an extended working / homework area or for board games or hobbies. Working from home is easily achieved in the study next door to the dining room with its stunning view of the mature garden. Oak flooring runs through the entirety of the ground floor with the exception of the kitchen which has a polished granite floor.
Upstairs there is a main bedroom with fitted wardrobes , it's double aspect (southerly and to the east) with outstanding views of the garden and the Chiltern Hills beyond, it also has a basin. There are three further bedrooms with one offering a shower and basin. Plans were drawn up for a fifth bedroom with Juliet balcony, en-suite & dressing room - subject to planning. In addition there is a night cloakroom with its further separate toilet and basin. There are two fully boarded lofts with lighting & easily accessible ladders, both lofts have the maximum recommended depth of insulation.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the property with a beautiful secluded flat south facing landscaped area which is easy to maintain. There is also a lawned area and patio with established trees and shrubs surrounding it. The garden has many ‘secret' areas, accessed by small paths winding between them. There is an above ground raised heated swimming pool, accessed by paved steps to a raised terrace seating area, which could be easily gated and locked meaning complete peace of mind. The pool area has marvellous views over the valley and backs onto open fields. Close by is a decking seating area with outdoor electric sockets ideal for BBQS. All of this area is in full sun, when the weather is kind, until the sun sets! Absolutely perfect for after work / school swimming sessions in the sun.
Out from the main living room is a patio area which is in full sun virtually all day. It also has 2 double outdoor sockets.
The current owner has loved living here for many years. She tells us the large windows which enable the sun to pour inside and allow one to constantly see the surrounding nature has given her utter peace, tranquillity and contentment which is so valuable for one's wellbeing. Her children and grandchildren have had many years of fun & laughter playing hide and seek, searching for Easter eggs, splashing about in the pool, having fun in the Games Room, egg rolling and playing in the maze of private gardens.
LOCATION
This private property is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of life yet only a short walk from Waitrose, Chesham Underground station and High Street
Chesham can be described as having one foot in London with its direct tube train, and the other in Buckinghamshire. Lively and colourful, it has a cosmopolitan air yet shares Buckinghamshire's most prized features: the inspiring countryside, the rare peace and the ancient feel of England's traditions.
Smart and increasingly well served by familiar High Street shops, Chesham's independent retailers provide everything residents need. A quality butcher, housewares shop, chemist and baker complement the coffee shops and supermarkets.
Known locally for its schools (prep schools, grammar schools and Ofsted Outstanding Junior School) the wide expanses of the country are a stroll from this property. The dual identity of Chesham makes it an informed choice for those leaving urban centres but wishing to remain connected to the hum and variety the larger town brings.
