The property has recently undergone a full, yet sympathetic, programme of modernisation and restoration to the highest of standards, carefully curated to balance the historic character of the building with modern and luxurious amenities.
Built in 1730 this historic property has only had four owners, having originally formed part of the Lowndes family estate before conversion to a public house, an antiques shop and now a family home. The property retains many original features and has a charming private walled rear garden with access to Lowndes Park, a 36 acre public park in the heart of Chesham leading to the Pednor Valley and Chiltern Hills beyond. Planning permission has been granted for a modern glass extension on the rear of the property and the extensive loft is ideal for conversion. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this beautiful home.

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