Hollybush House is handsome detached family home built in a traditional Arts and Crafts style with attractive and imposing tile hung elevations. The property has been enlarged and greatly improved to provide close to 4,500 sqft of exceptionally well presented accommodation with generous room proportions and a fine attention to detail and finish throughout.

The property is situated on a wonderful 0.6 acre plot, set within mature landscaped gardens and located in a tucked away position at the end of this highly regarded no through road in the heart of Amersham on the Hill.

The light and spacious ground floor living accommodation enjoys a highly adaptable arrangement with receptions accessed from a large, welcoming reception hall. Formal receptions include a double aspect living room with bay window, fireplace and double doors opening into a second reception, ideal as a formal dining room or play room being positioned adjacent to the kitchen. There is also a useful double aspect study.

The elegant open plan kitchen/dining room/breakfast room has been remodelled with a bespoke, hand built kitchen by Martin Moore featuring a comprehensive range of wall, base and larder/pantry style units with matching central island and AGA. A clever “turret” addition allows for a lovely breakfast room overlooking the rear gardens whilst a further part open plan family room is located to the front in an L shaped design.

A good size boot room and utility room with further WC are accessed from the kitchen, with the boot room acting as a link to the annexe.

The superb annexe space has been thoughtfully designed with a vaulted ceiling, full height Apex window providing wonderful natural light and stairs up to a mezzanine level which is ideal as a play room or further study area.

The bedroom accommodation is again generous in size having been remodelled in part to create six double bedrooms served by four well-appointed bath/shower rooms (three en-suites). The principal bedroom is of particular note with a range of fitted wardrobes and a turret addition proving a lovely sitting area from which to enjoy views over the gardens.

The house occupies a substantial plot of about 0.6 acre with a wide road frontage and sweeping carriage driveway providing plenty of parking and access to a pair of double garages with electrically operated doors.

The rear garden enjoys a pleasant Westerly aspect, has a wide patio across the rear of the house and extensive area of lawn studded by mature trees and bordered by laurel hedging allowing for seclusion and privacy. A further patio area to the side of the property houses a selection of raised vegetable beds.
