This substantial five-bedroom detached house on Amersham Road is arranged over three floors and tailored for family living and entertaining. The ground floor’s free-flowing layout includes a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with island and bifold doors, multiple reception rooms and a wide balcony that overlooks a mature, tiered rear garden of around 140ft. Driveway parking and an integral garage add practical everyday convenience.
The first floor provides three double bedrooms including a main bedroom with ensuite and a family bathroom; two further double bedrooms and a second bathroom sit on the second floor, giving flexible sleeping and home-office options. High-quality fittings, recessed lighting and contemporary finishes are apparent throughout, while features such as a snug with fireplace and underfloor heating add comfort.
Location is a clear strength: across the road from the Royal Grammar School and close to other well-regarded schools, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and regular public transport links. The area is very affluent and low-crime, making this a desirable family neighbourhood.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the house dates from the 1930–1949 era and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulating fill, so additional insulation works could be required to improve thermal performance. The property currently has an EPC rating of C and council tax is high. Overall, the house offers immediate family-ready accommodation with scope to upgrade energy efficiency to modern standards.
