Set in the heart of Chesham Old Town, this renovated three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage blends period charm with contemporary touches. Original features include exposed beams, leaded-light windows, panelled doors and feature fireplaces, while the kitchen and bathroom have been updated for modern living. The property sits in a quiet courtyard position backing onto the River Chess and is a short, level walk from the Metropolitan line station and town centre.
The layout suits a family or professional household: two reception rooms, a compact contemporary kitchen with utility, downstairs cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage. First floor accommodation includes three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, plus a landing study area ideal for homework or remote working.
Practical details to note: the house is freehold and offered chain free, with secondary glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The plot is small and the overall floor area is approximately 818 sq ft, so living spaces are characterful rather than expansive.
Be candid about local risks and ongoing maintenance: the property is identified with a medium flooding risk due to proximity to the River Chess, and local crime levels are above average. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so additional insulation works may be advisable to improve thermal performance. These factors are balanced by excellent broadband and mobile signal, good local schools, and quick access to transport and amenities.
