Location

Set in the picturesque Chilterns, Amersham is a vibrant town which offers a superb balance between commuter convenience (the Metropolitan and Chiltern lines from Amersham and Chalfont & Latimer stations offer prompt service to Central London and are both located  ca 1.25 miles from the property) and easy access to the surrounding countryside. There are two distinct areas: Old Amersham, set in the valley of the River Misbourne, which contains the 13th century parish church of St. Mary's and several old pubs, coaching inns and boutique shops; and Amersham-on-the-Hill, which grew rapidly around the railway station in the early part of the 20th century which now contains the main shopping area with high street brands such as Waitrose, Marks & Spencers and Boots, as well as a variety of eateries and coffee shops. 

The property benefits from easy access to highly regarded schooling at both primary and senior level including the renowned Dr Challoner's Grammar Schools (Boys & Girls) and Amersham High. Independent schooling is also well catered for with The Beacon School (Boys) and Heatherton (Girls) locally for Nursery - Year 8; whilst senior schooling can be found at Berkhamsted School (Boys & Girls), Royal Masonic (Girls) & Pipers Corner (Girls) all within 8 miles from Amersham.
