Set on a substantial plot in the sought-after village of Marsworth, this detached four-bedroom cottage offers versatile living space across two storeys. The home currently provides three reception rooms, a kitchen with utility, a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor shower room — all arranged to suit immediate family life while awaiting modernisation.
The plot is a standout feature: large side and rear gardens provide scope for landscaping, a significant extension or redevelopment (subject to planning). The property is chain-free and freehold, making it attractive for buyers wanting to move quickly or consider a value-adding project.
Practical points are clear and should be factored into any purchase: the house requires renovation throughout, has solid brick walls likely without insulation, double glazing installed before 2002 and oil-fired central heating. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, though mobile signal is excellent. These conditions present both a cost and an opportunity to improve energy performance and modern conveniences.
For families the location is appealing — village schools rated Good, countryside walks along the Grand Union Canal and nearby reservoirs, and reasonable road and rail links to larger towns and London. For buyers seeking a project or development potential, the size of the plot and the property’s layout offer real scope to create a larger, more efficient family home.
