Summary - LOCK 4 COTTAGE, LONG MARSTON ROAD HP23 4NF
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious rural retreat with waterside views and extensive gardens.
Four double bedrooms and three reception rooms for flexible family living
Set beside the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal, this four-double-bedroom detached lock cottage sits on about 1.25 acres of lawns, cottage gardens and waterside frontage. The house offers three reception rooms, a kitchen with utility, main bedroom with en suite and family bathroom — living space arranged across multiple levels to maximise views and privacy.
Stand-out features include uninterrupted canal and countryside vistas, a double garage with workshop, ample driveway parking and an attractive, secluded plot ideal for outdoor life. The property benefits from an air source heating system while remaining connected to an oil-fired boiler and radiators as the main fuel source, giving flexibility for future heating decisions.
The cottage’s age and construction bring character and scope: built before 1900 with solid brick walls and older double glazing (installed before 2002). Buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and general modernisation where desired — insulation and window replacement will improve comfort and running costs. Broadband is very slow in this location, and the house is best suited to purchasers who value rural privacy over high-speed connectivity.
For families and countryside buyers the village setting is strong: good local primary schools, easy access to walking routes, nearby reservoirs and the Chilterns, plus convenient road links to the A41 and Tring station for rail into London. There is no recorded flood risk and the neighbourhood shows low crime and an affluent rural profile.
