SL9 8QD
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Classic 1930s detached home on a huge private plot a short walk from Gerrards Cross station.
Circa 0.51 acre level plot with very large, private rear garden
Set on one of Oval Way’s largest level plots (circa 0.51 acre), this substantial 1930s detached house offers classic proportions, mature landscaping and tremendous scope. Lovell-built in the interwar period, the home retains generous room sizes, high ceilings and period character across nearly 3,000 sq ft, including four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and five reception rooms. A concealed wine cellar and large rear garden are standout features for entertaining and family life.
The house has been lived in by the same owners for over 40 years and presents a clear opportunity to modernise and extend (subject to consents) to fully exploit the plot and the property’s footprint. The accommodation is versatile now — formal dining room, sitting room, conservatory-style living room, study, utility and integrated single garage — but many internal finishes and services will benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards.
Location is a genuine strength: central Gerrards Cross is under 0.5 mile away with fast Chiltern Line trains to London Marylebone (circa 18 minutes), good local shopping, leisure facilities and a strong selection of state and independent schools. The plot’s privacy, mature specimen planting and level lawns backing onto a wooded copse create a peaceful, sheltered setting rare so close to the town centre.
Important considerations: the property will suit buyers prepared to invest in modernisation and possible refurbishment to unlock full value. The single garage and existing driveway provide parking but larger vehicle storage would require adaptation. Council tax is described as very expensive; interested parties should factor running and upgrade costs into their plans.
