Built we believe in 1910, this large family home has all the history and character you could wish for and features substantial bay windows, stained glass and leaded lights, mock Tudor beams, first floor jetties, steeply pitched rooflines, extended chimney stacks and several working and decorative fireplaces.

Two gated entrances from the road provide both vehicle and pedestrian access, with a block paved driveway leading to the detached garage and a slate paved footpath leading up to the imposing front door. This is generously recessed and protected from the elements by the jettied first floor above. The front facade of the property is particularly striking.

Inside, a large square, galleried entrance hall welcomes you, with a sweeping staircase to the left and bespoke cabinetry beneath. Two large reception rooms sit to the right, both with impressively large bay windows and beautifully ornate fireplaces with stone hearths. The original floorboards have been restored and varnished, and lead through to the rear of the property, past the spacious cloakroom to the stunning kitchen diner. Measuring 20' by 20', this triple aspect room delivers some real wow factor, with a contemporary, bespoke fitted kitchen featuring a large breakfast bar island, extensive cabinetry, stunning worktops, oversized floor tiles and underfloor heating. Double doors lead out to a secluded patio area, which gets afternoon and evening sunshine, whilst a second set of French doors leads to the other side of the property. A spacious utility room lies behind the kitchen diner, and here you'll find worktops and counters to two walls, a sink and draining board along with space for a washing machine and separate dryer.

Upstairs the principal bedroom sits to the front of the house. A large bay window with a southerly aspect brings in lots of natural light and offers far reaching views towards Marlow Hill and across The Rye. There are high quality built in wardrobes and a beautiful decorative fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround. In addition to the doorway leading to the landing, a second door connects to the 5th bedroom (perfect as a nursery or dressing room) and then onto the ensuite shower room, which has been recently refitted in stunning Carrara marble. Bedroom 2 is of similar proportions to the main bedroom and again benefits from a decorative fireplace, a large bay window that faces towards the east and extensive built in wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is a generous double with eaves storage and a large wardrobe, and bedroom 4 is a standard double which is currently configured as a good sized home office. The family bathroom has also been refitted in Carrara marble and features a traditional console basin and freestanding soaking tub, along with a separate shower enclosure and WC.

Loft access is via a drop down ladder above the landing, and with the unusually high roof lines on this home there is extensive storage available. Existing roof lights bring some natural illumination to the loft. The creation of additional accommodation would certainly be a possibility subject to the usual permissions.


In addition to the attractive and deep frontage, the property also offers plenty of space to both sides and to the rear, where an elevated lawn and decking area gets the sunshine all day. A lovely painted shed and raised fishpond are situated alongside the house, and a tool room/workshop is accessed via the patio area behind the kitchen diner.


Rectory Avenue is one of High Wycombe's most prestigious and historic roads and marks the lower boundary of the Amersham Hill Conservation Area. It lies just to the north of the town centre and is only 500m to the mainline station. From here you can be in London Marylebone in just 27 minutes, Oxford in 36 minutes and Birmingham Moor Street in 76 minutes. There are outstanding state and independent schools within a short walk, including Wycombe Abbey, Godstowe, the Royal Grammar School, Wycombe High School, and John Hampden.

      Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 4, 2022

      Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

      Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
      Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
      Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

      The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

      Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 4, 2022

      Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

      Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
      Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
      Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
      Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
      Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
