Set just 0.3 miles from Chesham station and close to highly regarded junior and grammar schools, this three-bedroom character cottage offers town living with genuine potential. The property occupies a small plot with a long, narrow rear garden and a large detached garage providing useful parking or storage. Offered with no onward chain, it will suit buyers wanting quick completion or investors seeking a lettable town home in a very affluent area.
The house retains period character — bay window, exposed brick fireplace and cottage-style upper room — but requires updating throughout. The kitchen is long and narrow and the bathroom appears original; the property would benefit from modernisation, redecoration and, where desired, energy-efficiency improvements. Heating is by electric room heaters and walls are likely solid brick without insulation, which will affect running costs.
There is scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning permission (STPP), so the cottage could be enlarged or adapted to better suit family needs or to increase rental value. The detached garage at the rear is a practical bonus for town parking or conversion potential (STPP). Buyers should note the small overall footprint and modest room sizes typical of town cottages.
Suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers seeking character close to transport, or investors, this mid-terrace offers location and school catchment strengths balanced against clear renovation and energy-efficiency considerations. Viewing is recommended to assess how best to update the home to meet your plans.
