Amersham Spotlight – Our estate agents view
Friday, September 13, 2019
Spotlight on Amersham - Our estate agents view. Old Amersham is perhaps one of the most photogenic and most photographed towns in The Chilterns with its timbered coaching inns, Georgian tea rooms, antique shops and Market House. For centuries its location put it on the map as a market town on the much travelled coaching route heading west from London; more recently the newer part of Amersham has grown as a prime residential commuter town with both mainline and Underground stations. The new town’s popularity has increased over the years with demand associated with the grammar schools and private schools for both boys and girls, as well as a thriving, modern town centre with stores such as Waitrose and M & S.

There’s a “back to school” nip in the air but September often heralds an Indian summer in the south-east with warm hazy afternoons and, as the leaves change colour, it’s a great time to give your home a mini makeover, adding warmth and texture to every room. As the days become cooler towards the end of the month, small changes, such as heavier fabrics and warm lighting transform your home and it’s also a great time to give your garden some love and have it looking its best before frosts set in.

Inside out!
Monday, August 12, 2019
Glass houses or conservatories became popular in the 16th century with rich landowners trying to grow citrus fruits which were being brought to England by traders from the Mediterranean. Orangeries, as they became known, were increasingly used socially as a space to entertain and also to grow a wider variety of “hothouse” plants. Fast forward to the 2ist century and glass extensions are a contemporary, versatile and beautiful way to create additional space that links garden and home. They are designed to take on a wide variety of functions from kitchen extensions to dining areas, home hubs, entertainment and utility rooms.
