This well‑proportioned four‑bedroom semi‑detached house in Chesham Old Town blends period character with practical family living. The ground floor offers a lounge/dining room and a comprehensively fitted kitchen with adjoining utility and WC, while three double bedrooms sit on the first floor and a further bedroom occupies the second. Outside there are modest front and rear gardens plus a versatile garden room currently used as a home office/gym/studio.
The location is a major draw for families: walking distance to town shops, cafés and transport links, with several highly rated schools nearby including Chesham Grammar and Dr Challoner’s. Total floor area is about 1,291 sq ft on a small plot, making the house manageable for family life and everyday commuting to London.
Buyers should note some practical issues. The property dates from around 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to be uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes. Flooding risk in the area is classed as medium, and local crime statistics are higher than average; prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries. The garden is not large but includes a useful garden room that adds flexible space.
Overall this freehold home will suit families seeking a character property in a central Old Town location who are prepared to accept period house maintenance and energy‑efficiency limitations. The house offers immediate liveability with scope for targeted upgrading to improve comfort and value.
