Highlands offers a rare opportunity to put your stamp on an exquisite Edwardian country home set within 12 acres, just a stone’s throw away from the picturesque market town of Old Amersham.

Approached via a long sweeping carriage driveway, this imposing home is surrounded by extensive grounds and paddocks with far-reaching, south-facing views across The Chilterns.

The main house currently stands at just under 4,300 sq ft, with the scope to significantly enlarge (an illustrative floor plan using solely permitted development rights can be seen along with CGIs). Further outbuildings and stable blocks provide additional opportunities for conversion, subject to planning.

Oozing grandeur, original Edwardian charm and character are retained throughout the property, from high architraved ceilings to open fireplaces. The first floor offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms (two ensuites), and the ground floor boasts multiple entertaining spaces for every occasion. A formal dining room, lounge, and snug are all flooded with light from the south-facing aspect, and patio doors open onto the terrace and lawns - the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

The huge games room, currently home to a full-sized snooker table, provides the real wow factor. With a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine level, it is an ideal party space, but it could equally make a self-contained annexe.

The outdoor space is spectacular and offers endless opportunities. Formal, well-stocked borders and a bountiful kitchen garden will delight keen gardeners, while the large paddocks, stables and barns are ready to house horses or livestock. For keen equestrians, a former sand menage would be easily reinstated.

Location
Amersham offers the very best of both worlds, with rolling Chilterns countryside and a historic high street with plenty of independent boutiques and restaurants in the Old Town. Amersham on the Hill (the new town) covers all your daily necessities, including a new leisure centre (Chilterns Lifestyle Centre).

Fast and request trains run into London Marylebone, with the additional bonus of the Metropolitan Line. The M40 runs through the county, providing easy access to Birmingham and Oxford. The M25 is also nearby, providing quick links to Heathrow Airport, London and the South.

Schools are simply excellent and highly sought-after, with two of the best Grammar schools in the country – Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys and Dr Challoner’s High School for girls. There are also several independent prep, day and boarding schools.
