This single self-build plot sits in the generous rear garden of 20 Lucas Road, in the leafy Amersham Hill area on the northern slopes of High Wycombe. The neighbourhood is known for detached homes in mature, tree-lined gardens, and the plot is well screened, with its own entrance from Lucas Road.

The design is for a charming chalet-style home with rooms in the roof, inspired by the Arts and Crafts tradition: a brick and flint-effect base, painted render, clay tiles, timber gables and dormers, and a wide glazed back wall opening onto the garden. The home sits comfortably below the main house, so it stays tucked away from the street, with 25 to 28 metres of garden to the rear boundary. Twenty-two new trees add to the area's green character, with a planted boundary between the two homes.

Amersham Hill is one of High Wycombe's most sought-after neighbourhoods, a short walk downhill to the town centre, the Eden shopping centre and High Wycombe station, where Chiltern Railways trains reach London Marylebone in around 30 minutes. The Royal Grammar School and Wycombe High are nearby, the M40 is minutes away, and the Chiltern hills and woodland are right on the doorstep.

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

A rare chance to build your own home in an established neighbourhood where plots almost never come up.
