A handsome Grade II listed detached cottage on Merry Hill Road, this CFA Voysey–designed home sits on a large, mature plot close to Hill Mead Nature Park. Traditional features — dual-aspect reception rooms, a welcoming fireplace and high ceilings — combine with generous proportions across about 2,400 sq ft to deliver substantial family accommodation.
The ground floor offers two principal reception rooms plus a formal dining room and a kitchen/breakfast area with an adjoining utility and rear hall, providing clear family circulation and scope for modern living. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a 22-ft principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a sizable family bathroom. Off-street parking and an integral garage add useful storage and secure parking.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, proximity to well-regarded schools and green space, and convenient rail links into London from Bushey. These features suit growing families seeking space, period character and town convenience.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s Grade II listing imposes restrictions that will complicate alterations and maintenance, and there is only one main family bathroom for four bedrooms. The area records higher crime levels, which some purchasers will want to investigate. The house’s size and period status mean ongoing upkeep and specialist repairs may be required from time to time.
Overall, this substantial period home will appeal to purchasers who value architectural character, generous rooms and a large plot, and who are prepared to work within listed-building constraints to maintain and enhance the property.
