Character top-floor flat with vaulted living and allocated parking in gated Gilbert Scott Court.
Vaulted open-plan living room with high ceilings
A bright top-floor apartment in the iconic, gated Gilbert Scott Court — a characterful converted building set in a neat communal courtyard. The living space is particularly striking: a vaulted, open-plan reception with high ceilings and a recently refitted Martin Moore kitchen creates an airy, sociable heart to the home. Two double bedrooms include a principal with en-suite; the layout suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance, comfortable accommodation with period character.
Practical benefits include an allocated parking space, access to an additional gated underground bay (held on a separate lease), a very long lease (999 years from 2001 with a share in the freehold for No.22) and no local flooding risk. The property sits within easy reach of Amersham town centre, shops and rail links, while local schools and Chiltern countryside are close by — useful for visiting family.
Important considerations: the building is listed, which can restrict alterations and cause additional consent requirements and costs. Service charges are significant (circa £2,135.48 for the stated period) and there appears to be a separate lease for the underground parking bay. The apartment is average-sized (approx. 807 sq ft) so it’s well suited to someone wanting elegant, manageable space rather than a large family home.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to buyers who value historic character, high ceilings and a central Amersham location, and who are comfortable with managed communal living and the practicalities that come with listed status and service charges.
