Snells House is a very well proportioned and presented family home, recently refurbished by the current owners. Approached from the gravelled driveway the house is entered via the covered porch leading to the generous reception hall. From here stairs lead to the first floor and doors open to the family room, dining room and sitting room- a light and airy room running across the rear of the house, with views over the gardens. Further rooms on the ground floor include the well fitted kitchen, utility room and guest cloakroom.
The first floor landing gives access to the principal bedroom with en suite, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Planning Permission
There is a current planning permission to replace Snells House with a beautiful new home of approximately 8,000 sq ft. Full plans can be seen on the Buckinghamshire Council Planning website reference number Ref No. PL/22/0920/FA

There are further opportunities to build a partial two storey and part single storey side extension. Details of this can be found under Ref No. PL/20/2222/FA. In addition, there is a certificate of lawfulness for a proposed detached outbuilding in the rear garden (Ref No. PL/21/4253/SA).

Approached from Snells Lane across a sweeping, gravelled driveway leading to the front of the house and the double garages. The gardens and grounds are a superb feature of the property with immediately to the rear of the house an expanse of level lawn interspersed with well stocked borders and beds. There is a good sized kitchen garden and beyond the formal lawns an area of light woodland.

To the south west of the house is the swimming pool, completed in 2022, with paved surround and pool house with changing rooms and cloakroom. Beyond this is the hard tennis court. There is a Gardener's Yard with shed with power and light and areas for storage.

The fenced paddocks are to the south east of the gardens.


Snells House is situated in a secluded, sought-after position within 0.5 miles of Little Chalfont village.

Little Chalfont offers a range of shopping facilities, restaurants, highly regarded schools and a library. The larger centres of Amersham and Gerrards Cross provide a wider variety.

Chalfont and Latimer rail station offers a dual rail service to Baker Street (taking approximately 43 minutes), and Aldgate and Marylebone (taking approximately 32 minutes). Junction 18 of the M25 motorway provides access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports and the M1 and M40 motorways are within 5 miles of the property. Central London is also easily accessible by road via the M40 (junction 1) and the M25 (junction 17).

Buckinghamshire is renowned for its education and the area offers an excellent choice of schools for children of all ages, both state and independent. Notably, Buckinghamshire still operates the Grammar schools system at senior ages, with Snells House being within close proximity to Dr Challoner's Grammar School and Chesham High School for boys, and Dr Challoner's High School and Chesham High School for girls.

Sporting activities in the area include golf at Harewood Downs, Stoke Poges, Gerrards Cross and Denham; lawn tennis at Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield; horse racing at Windsor, and the surrounding area has many footpaths and bridleways providing excellent walks and rides.
