" This impressive and characterful family home in the Amersham Hill Conservation Area is attractively set back from the road with a carriage driveway and fabulous secluded gardens of towards half an acre. The house‘s proximity to a number of highly regarded schools (including Godstowe, The Royal Grammar School and Wycombe Abbey) makes this location extremely desirable. Built around 1926, the house itself has been constructed to exacting standards with fine quality materials and attention to detail. Today, it is a wonderful home offering well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and period features. The kitchen, with a separate utility area is triple aspect and the drawing room is quadruple aspect whilst the dining room and family room both have attractive corner fireplaces and overlook the rear gardens. The dining room opens via a double, oak-panelled door into the drawing room to make an expansive entertaining area. Conveniently located en route to the kitchen, the exquisite butler‘s pantry and walk-in pantry retain original cupboards and marble shelving. The boot room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor, there are five bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a study) a family bathroom and a shower room. The largest bedroom has a fireplace and a bay window. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor.

Situation
Set back from the road, this property is located in the historic Amersham Hill Conservation Area which is characterised by large, villa type houses on generous plots.

Outside
Set back from the road with a carriage driveway, there are areas of lawn, mature trees and shrubs to the front of the property with access to the garage and ample space for several more cars. A side gate leads to the gardens at the rear and these are a joy to behold. With a terrace and two paths leading to seating areas, the summer house and the wisteria-clad pergola, there is plenty of scope for al fresco dining. The collection of interesting plantings includes a strawberry tree, corkscrew hazel and a productive fig tree. "
