Elm Road, High Wycombe

A little piece of Penn’s history, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Emily Cottage combines period charm, stylish interiors and a delightful garden, all set within the Penn Conservation Area and just moments from the village pond.
Dating from the early 19th century, this beautifully presented cottage has a story to tell. Once part of Penn’s bustling retail hub, the building housed the village hardware shop, bakery and greengrocers before its thoughtful conversion into four cottages in the 1980s. Today, its rich heritage sits comfortably alongside contemporary finishes, creating a home with warmth, personality and enduring appeal. Situated within the Penn Conservation Area, the property offers a wonderful connection to the village’s history.
Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 1,005 sq ft, the accommodation offers a pleasing balance of sociable living space and cosy retreats. The welcoming sitting room provides an inviting setting for relaxed evenings, with space to gather friends and family.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, with ample room for a table and double doors opening onto the garden. From leisurely morning coffees to summer lunches spilling onto the patio, this is a space to enjoy throughout the seasons. A separate study offers a useful home-working space or occasional third bedroom, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor. For those working from home, the property also benefits from high-speed fibre broadband, with Cat 6 cabling to both the office and reception room.
On the first floor, a generous double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, alongside a spacious bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. A further bedroom occupies the second floor, where sloping ceilings add to the cottage’s charm.
Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden is a delight. An attractive patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, with lawn beyond creating a lovely setting to unwind. Parking for two cars to the front is a particularly welcome advantage in this village location.
Set in the heart of picturesque Penn, approximately a minute’s walk from the village pond, Emily Cottage offers the opportunity to become part of a village with a rich history of its own. Full of character and beautifully suited to modern life, this is a home to fall in love with.
