Summary - 45, WORDSWORTH ROAD, HIGH WYCOMBE HP11 2UR
2 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Large plot, parking for four and scope to extend — renovation required..
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large plot with extension potential (STPP)
Set on a sizeable plot in the sought-after Poets Corner, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers clear scope for growth and improvement. The property includes a large garage and off-street parking for up to four cars, plus a garden and potential to extend (subject to planning). Its location — a short walk to High Wycombe town centre and close to the M40 (J4) — suits commuters, families and developers alike.
Internally the layout is traditional and roomy for a bungalow: entrance hall, living room with bay window, two double bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen, an extended reception room and a family bathroom. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and has secondary glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The overall footprint (about 1,035 sq ft) provides a solid base for a modernisation project or an extended family layout (STPP).
Important negatives are straightforward: the house needs renovation throughout, EPC band D, council tax band E (above average) and the area records very high crime levels — these are material factors for buyers to weigh. Despite that, the property has rental potential (estimated £1,500–£1,700 pcm) and the plot size and parking are genuine value drivers for those looking to add space or pursue a development scheme.
An internal inspection is recommended to assess renovation costs and extension feasibility. This bungalow will most appeal to buyers seeking a project with location advantages — close to schools, local amenities and fast road links — and the potential to create a comfortable, expanded home.
