Severn House represents a rare opportunity to own a most impressive and imposing period home in a prized location. The property has been in the same family’s ownership for over 70 years, lived in by four generations, and is now in need of some updating throughout.

Severn House has a striking façade which fronts on to the high street of Old Amersham. As you enter the property, you are greeted by a long hallway which provides access to much of the downstairs accommodation. At the end of the hallway is a door which provides a nicely framed view to the garden beyond as well as access to the rear. On the ground floor you will find three very well-proportioned reception rooms, with wonderful character features and volume. The reception space is versatile, with the current owners utilising the three rooms as a study, a dining room and a living room. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and is a comfortable space with a back door providing access to the rear garden. Further benefits include a garage for off street parking or storage, as well as a cleverly configured secure and covered passage that leads from the front to the back of the property. The garage area is believed to have formerly been an arched opening for a horse and carriage to pass through to the rear. To the rear of the property, you will also find a separately accessed and useful boiler room.

Stairs rise to the first floor where you are greeted with a spacious landing. There are five bedrooms and two large bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath, as well as a separate cloakroom.

At the bottom of the garden is an impressive two storey outbuilding. On the ground floor is a large studio space, a kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs is a further large studio area, where one of the windows provides a charming view of the River Misbourne. This is a hugely versatile space and makes a superb ancillary area.

Severn House has an abundance of period features, including a Georgian fanlight over the front door and large sash windows throughout which frame some truly delightful views over the rear walled garden or the picturesque high street of Old Amersham.

Gardens & Grounds:
One of the many impressive features of Severn House is the delightful walled garden, with a neatly laid out lawn and a wide range of planting throughout. The River Misbourne runs by the rear of the garden, below the studio, and is a charming feature.
