Summary - 5 Dukes Wood Avenue SL9 7JX
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Large six‑bed family house with south-facing garden, double garage and close to station.
Six bedrooms across three floors, about 4,204 sq ft
Set within the prestigious Dukes Wood Estate in Gerrards Cross, this substantial six-bedroom detached house offers nearly 4,204 sq ft of flexible family living across three floors. The main floor centres on a large open-plan kitchen, dining and reception area with integrated Miele appliances and granite surfaces, while several reception rooms — including a dual-aspect sitting room with working wood-burning stove — provide formal and informal entertaining space. A ground-floor gym/office with its own entrance could provide annexe potential.
The first-floor principal suite benefits from a south-facing bay, dressing room and a large en-suite with underfloor heating; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this level. Two additional double bedrooms occupy the second floor with useful eaves storage. Outside, the property sits on about a third of an acre with a private south-facing garden, full-width patio, lodge-style terrace and a golf-course style irrigation system that makes maintenance straightforward. A carriage driveway and automatic double garage provide parking for several vehicles — up to eight off-street in total.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1930s and retains period character, but the EPC rating is D and the council tax is Band H (very expensive). Double glazing is present though installation dates are unknown. While the home has been well presented, buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance and potential modernisation in places given the property's age. Existing planning history shows a previously decided application for a detached garage and single-storey side extension (ref: 01/00923/FUL).
This is a strong option for an established family seeking space, privacy and easy commuting — Gerrards Cross station is within walking distance — or for buyers who value a character home with extensive gardens and parking. Its position in an affluent, well-served area with excellent schools makes it particularly appealing to buyers wanting long-term family accommodation.
