The grounds also include a vegetable garden, timber clad summer house and outdoor heated swimming pool. 

Property agent Mike Lillitou, head of office at Savills in Amersham, said: “The Limes is an elegant and spacious family home in a wonderfully private setting, enjoying far reaching views across the beautiful Chilterns countryside.  

“I adore the handsome character of the property, while the grounds are also an absolute delight.

"Neighbouring woodland flanks the garden to one side, whilst adjoining paddock land to the rear of the boundary provides a magnificent open vista.”
