Description

SUMMARY
Brown & Merry are delighted to offer to market this extended four bedroom semi-detached family home situated on a quiet cul de sac. The property offers flexible accommodation in great school catchment areas.


DESCRIPTION
Portobello Close offers everything that you would need for a young family looking for a quiet countryside lifestyle with access to the big city on your doorstep. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac is this EXTENDED FOUR bedroom semi-detached home. To the front of the property you are greeted by a private brick-paved driveway offering off street parking, plus an herbaceous border offering the potential to create further parking in the future; to the rear is a secure terraced garden.

As we enter this home the hallway provides access to the two front reception rooms. The rear extension provides a spacious Kitchen/Breakfast Room which is completely flooded in natural light due to the large patio doors and rooflights. The remainder of the ground floor is perfectly completed with a WC and storage off the inner hallway. The first floor is home to the four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Immersed in the beautiful Chiltern countryside and located less than a mile from Chesham Underground station, High Street and close to excellent local schools this property really does offer the best of both worlds.

It is 11 miles south-east of the county town of Aylesbury and 25.8 miles north-west of Charing Cross, Central London, and is part of the London commuter belt, the Metropolitan Line.
