About this property
Occupying a commanding, elevated position in one of Chalfont St. Peter’s most peaceful cul-de-sacs, Sherwood House is a substantial four-bedroom detached family home offering approximately 1,808 sq ft of versatile living space.
The ground floor accommodation is centered around a welcoming entrance hall that immediately introduces the home's bright and airy feel. To one side, the impressive living room, centred around a feature brick fireplace and offering a direct connection to the outdoors via sliding glass doors. For those requiring a dedicated workspace, a separate formal study provides a quiet retreat, characterised by a large bay window that captures the property's elevated valley views. The kitchen/dining room serves as a functional hub for family life, offering a generous footprint with views over the private rear garden and convenient access to a separate utility room. Practicality is further enhanced by a guest cloakroom and direct access to the integral double garage, which offers significant storage or workshop potential.
Ascending to the first floor, a central landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering a unique perspective of the surrounding greenery. The principal suite is a highlight of the upper level, providing a spacious double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and its own private en-suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are versatile in their layout, with the front-facing rooms benefiting significantly from the home's elevated position, enjoying far-reaching, panoramic views across the Misbourne Valley. These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom that has been recently updated with contemporary tiling, a sleek vanity unit, and high-quality fixtures, reflecting a touch of modern luxury within the home.
Garden and Grounds
A private driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
To the rear, the grounds transition into a mature and entirely private sanctuary. A sprawling stone terrace spans the full width of the house, creating an expansive area for alfresco dining and entertaining. This leads up to a level lawn, meticulously framed by tall, manicured hedging and established trees that provide total seclusion. The garden is further enhanced by a charming timber summerhouse and hidden seating areas, offering a peaceful oasis just a short walk from the village centre.
Location
The Drey is ideally situated in the popular Buckinghamshire village of Chalfont St Peter, offering a blend of village charm and excellent accessibility. The property is within walking distance of the village centre, which provides a wide range of local amenities including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a leisure centre, and everyday essentials such as a post office and pharmacy.
Families are well catered for with a choice of outstanding local schools, both state and independent. These include Chalfont St Peter CofE Academy, Maltmans Green, Gayhurst, Thorpe House and St Marys, The Chalfonts Community College, and the highly regarded Dr Challoner’s Grammar Schools in nearby Amersham for grammar school education.
Transport connections are excellent. Gerrards Cross station is just a short drive away, offering fast and regular train services into London Marylebone in under 25 minutes. For motorists, the M25 and M40 motorways are easily accessible, providing swift links to Heathrow Airport and the wider motorway network.
Chalfont St Peter also benefits from an abundance of green space, with nearby walks along the River Misbourne, Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and local parks making it a great location for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
