This two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage sits in the heart of High Wycombe’s town centre, offered chain free and ready for an investor or buyer seeking renovation potential. The layout includes a double-aspect lounge-diner, separate kitchen with appliances including a dishwasher, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across two storeys. A recently fitted Vaillant boiler and double glazing are practical benefits that reduce immediate maintenance costs.
Externally the property has a private front courtyard garden and a rear storage shed; the garden is very small and currently overgrown, suitable for low-maintenance landscaping or conversion subject to planning. Internal rooms are generally small and some areas need modernization — this is a characterful fixer-upper with scope to reconfigure or update finishes to add value. Total floor area is approximately 701 sq ft.
Location is a key strength: the station, shops, cafés, healthcare and schools are all within walking distance, and Hughenden Park is nearby for green space. Parking is by permit on nearby streets. Note the area records very high local crime levels, which may affect rental appetite and resale perceptions; buyers should factor this into investment calculations.
EPC rating C and freehold tenure are practical positives, while the property’s age and condition mean further works could be required (cosmetic and possibly system upgrades despite the new boiler). Suitable either for an investor targeting rental yield in a cosmopolitan urban area or a purchaser seeking a compact, centrally located home to renovate.
