A five-bedroom property in Chesham has gone on the market for a whopping £1.5m.

Based along Botley Road in the town, the freehold house sits on 3,000 square metres of land, has two bathrooms, and has paddocks and stables.

The property has only been publicly available to purchase since August 20, and Sterling Estate Agents in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, is looking after it.

On the Rightmove website, the estate agent said: “The house is set back from the road in the sought after village of Ley Hill, offering fields and forests to the front and back of the house in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) with country walks and bridleways freely available.

“Ley Hill enjoys a ’village feel’ with its cricket club, Golf Club and two pubs, it is close to Amersham, Chesham & Berkhamsted all offering mainline railway stations (central London approx 40 minutes) with all the national supermarkets (Waitrose/Sainsburys) and retailers together with many specialist individual shops.

“They all have popular market days each week together with several Coffee shops and restaurants.”

The ground floor consists of a woodblock floor with stairs leading to the first floor.

The entrance hall offers access to the walk-in boot room/cloakroom and leads to two sets of double doors, one leading to the principal reception room and the other to the kitchen dinner.

The principal reception/lounge has a wood-burning stove and two sets of windows overlooking the front drive, the ‘L’ shaped kitchen diner is fitted with a comprehensive range of base and eye level units and features a walk-in Pantry, together with double doors onto the full-width patio.

The kitchen diner opens onto a fully equipped utility room with a door to the integral garage/workshop.

The entrance hallway also leads to the second reception/playroom with double doors opening into the garden, and a further door opens onto the office/sixth bedroom.

Regarding the outside, the estate agent said: “Outside without doubt the outside area is highly attractive, with a five bar gate opening onto the block paved driveway providing ample space for a number of vehicles, and gives access to the generously proportioned garage.

“There is tiled access down both sides of the property leading to the full width tiled patio area, which overlooks the ‘formal’ part of the garden, this in turn gives access to the triple stable block and the paddock area.”
