4 bed detached house for sale

Sycamore Dene, Chesham HP5

Designed in 1962 by the architect Hans Werner Rosenthal, this wonderfully characterful four-bedroom home is set in over 1/3 of an acre of landscaped gardens and woodlands on the quiet edge of Chesham. The house has generous living spaces and extends to around 2,402sq ft including terrace 2,636sq ft, with expansive glazing bringing an excellent quality of light across its two storeys. The modern and bespoke fitted kitchen is open to the dining area and this leads wonderfully into the living room which all have amazing views over the garden and woodland beyond. A feature much loved by the current owners has been the roof-terrace, a pleasant space to enjoy morning coffees and alfresco dining in the coming warmer months. Bedrooms one and four are on this floor as is a shower room.

On the ground floor is a spacious sitting room and study area. This central room well befits as a second living space, home office, gym, or an additional bedroom, with garden views. Two double bedrooms lie off an arterial corridor, each beautifully light, quiet and with direct garden access. A further shower room benefits this floor. And the layout also lends itself to being a separate annex/living space for family members.

Externally the house has a wonderful, private rear garden with a wooded back-drop and the block paved patio is a great place for entertaining, ball games and can provide additional parking if necessary.

Surrounded by the green expanses of the Chiltern Hills Area of Natural Beauty, Sycamore Dene is a quiet spot just a 20-minute walk from the heart of Chesham. Hockeridge and Pancake Woods are both a five-minute drive away, with plenty of other hiking trails in the surrounding area. Walking distance to Chesham Grammar School.
