Characterful 4-bed family home with orangery, garden and off-street parking in Old Amersham.
Circa 1700 semi-detached with original beams and inglenook fireplace
A handsome 18th-century semi-detached house on Old Amersham High Street, this home blends original character with thoughtful contemporary extensions. Across about 1,500 sq ft you’ll find exposed beams, a 15ft sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, and a vaulted principal bedroom with ensuite — spaces that suit family life and relaxed entertaining.
The ground floor layout flows from a kitchen/breakfast room into a double-aspect dining room and a 13ft orangery-style garden room, opening onto a landscaped south-westerly rear garden with a generous patio and gated side access. Off-street parking and a low-maintenance walled front garden add practical convenience on the High Street.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, useful utility and cloakroom facilities, and proximity to well-regarded local schools. The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent area with excellent mobile and broadband coverage, making it well suited to professionals and families seeking village-centre living with modern connectivity.
Buyers should note a few important points: the house is a period, solid-brick build (circa 1700) so walls likely lack modern cavity insulation; the EPC is rated D and council tax is described as expensive. While presented well, older properties can carry higher maintenance and retrofit costs if you choose to improve thermal efficiency or undertake major modernisation.
