Seller Insight

We quickly fell in love with the look of this picture-perfect property which has a little red post-box in the driveway. We thought it was very cute, and from a practical perspective, the property also comes with three off street parking spots which is certainly a rarity for a home in this area,” say the owners.

“The location was another big part of the appeal. We’re within walking distance of some fabulous restaurants, pubs, wine bar, deli, and a Michelin starred restaurant. Everything we need is easily accessible, including supermarkets and local markets, along with an interesting range of shops on the thriving High Street. We enjoy long walks in the surrounding countryside which is a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning and it’s just a short walk up the hill from where we can get the tube into central London.”

“We have decorated throughout, so the property has a nice feel to it. We restored the old fireplace in the living room and put in a new wood burning stove which has been a superb addition. It’s such a pleasant room to spend time, especially on a winter evening. We also built a garden office which is a very flexible space; it’s ideal for working from home and we currently have some exercise equipment in there too but it could easily be a yoga studio or hobby room.”

“Our garden is a real sun trap and we tend to live out there in the summer! It’s big enough for games with children and entertaining friends. We had a BBQ last year along with 30 guests and there was plenty of space for us all. The garden is fully enclosed, so it’s safe for children and animals, so everyone can relax and enjoy all it has to offer.”

“This property offers something for both younger and older generations. It’s in the catchment area for the renowned Dr Challoner’s Grammar School and there’s an active Church and various groups to get involved with as much or as little as you like. The kitchen is well designed with a great layout which is easy to cook in whilst guests enjoy a drink and it’s an absolute pleasure to wake up in the master bedroom to natural sunlight and views over the Chiltern Hills.”*

Amersham on the Hill offers the Metropolitan Line (a one hour journey direct to Liverpool Street Station) as well as the Chiltern Line Overground (thirty two minutes to London Marylebone). Amersham’s highly regarded schools and colleges are also within comfortable reach including Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys in Amersham and Dr Challoner’s High School for girls in Little Chalfont, as well as Heatherton House (girls) and The Beacon (boys) primary Prep schools. A ten minute drive is the M40, with the M25 only a fifteen minute drive (access to London, the Midlands as well as only a half hour drive to Heathrow Airport).

Located on the edge of the Chiltern Hills (area of outstanding natural beauty), the pretty market town of Amersham is split into two, divided by woodland. The house is situated on the Western End of the historic High Street in the Old Town with its beautiful period buildings (many dating back to the 15th century), boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs and at the centre the 13th century parish church of St. Marys. Amersham on the Hill benefits from your typical high street stores and chains (M&S, Waitrose, Boots, WH Smith & Costa Coffee to name a few).
