Tucked in the heart of Bushey Village, this Victorian two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offers genuine renovation potential for a first-time buyer or DIY investor. The through lounge retains period character — exposed beams, a brick fireplace and fitted cupboards — and leads to a compact kitchen with adjoining utility. A south-east facing rear garden provides private outdoor space and gated side access.
The house is sold chain free and is offered as a blank canvas: it requires complete modernisation throughout, so buyers should budget for a full refurbishment. The bathroom is accessed via bedroom two, which affects layout and privacy. Services include mains gas central heating and partial double glazing, but walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, so upgrading insulation and windows will improve comfort and running costs.
At about 624 sq ft, the property is modest in size and best suited to a couple or small family who can invest in updating. Its village location is a strong practical benefit — local shops, restaurants, bus routes, and several good primary schools are within walking distance, and fast broadband and average mobile signal support home working. Energy rating D and Council Tax band D indicate moderate running costs now, with good scope to improve efficiency as part of a refurbishment.
Buyers should arrange a survey to confirm condition and any structural or services work required. For those prepared to renovate, this freehold cottage offers period charm, a convenient village address and the chance to add value through sympathetic modernisation.
