Tucked away behind Ambers of Amersham on London Road West, these two detached three-bedroom homes are set gently into the hillside on the edge of Old Amersham. The historic old town, with its listed buildings, independent shops and riverside walks along the Misbourne, is just a short stroll away.

The homes are contemporary in style and green to their core. Charred larch cladding and a warm multi-tone brick base sit beneath living roofs of sedum and wildflowers, while ivy panels and vertical gardens soften the walls and help the houses blend into the surrounding trees. Large black-framed windows fill the rooms with light, and each home has its own private garden. Because the houses are set into the slope, they feel private and tucked away, for you and your neighbours alike. Parking is on grass-reinforced surfaces, with native planting and footpaths keeping the whole site green.

Old Amersham is one of the most sought-after addresses in the Chilterns, with its market hall and weekly market close by. Amersham Station is within walking distance, with Metropolitan Line and Chiltern Railways services into London, reaching Marylebone in around 35 minutes, and the M25 and M40 are easy to reach.

Plans have been submitted and are currently awaiting a planning decision.

Two nature-led family homes, a short walk from one of the Chilterns' loveliest old towns.
