Description

This detached, double-fronted period home presents a rare opportunity in one of the Chilterns’ most desirable villages. Constructed nearly a century ago and cherished by the same family since, the property offers a unique glimpse into local history, notably its use as a safe house during the Second World War. While the interior requires comprehensive modernization, this character home is primed for transformation. Its spacious layout provides a blank canvas to adapt and enhance, allowing new owners to blend contemporary living with historical charm. This property stands out in the village as one of the few remaining homes that retains its original character, offering significant renovation potential. The exterior features a sizable driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles, and a generous, level rear garden that is ideal for families or outdoor enthusiasts. The location is particularly appealing for families; there’s a well-regarded primary school merely minutes away, with Chesham Grammar School located just under a mile from the home. Additionally, Chesham’s vibrant town center and train station are both conveniently accessible within a short distance. Ley Hill fosters community spirit through various annual events such as classic car shows and music festivals. Residents can also enjoy amenities like two welcoming pubs, a golf course, and local sports clubs. Surrounded by beautiful woodlands and countryside walks, this property not only represents an exciting investment but also offers the chance to immerse oneself in a thriving community while creating an ideal family retreat.
