Penn Street, Amersham, Buckinghamshire HP7

Situated in a sought-after village location, The Cottages date back in part to the 15/16th century and sit within the conservation area, the generous accommodation is complemented by gardens and paddocks of approximately 2.4 acres.

The accommodation is as shown in the floor plans. Approached from the driveway through to a generous reception hall, flanked on one side by the drawing room leading to a snug and a conservatory and on the other, by the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room a lovely vaulted room centred around an electric Aga. The ground floor also benefits from a wonderful reception room with utility room and cloakroom off.

On the first floor are four good sized bedrooms with two bathrooms accessed by two separate staircases. In addition, there is a good sized loft storage room with its own staircase. Throughout the property as many character features as possible have been retained and this combined with a more modern feel to the kitchen and bathrooms, creates a unique family home.
