Large plot and development potential in a sought-after Gerrards Cross location.
Detached five-bedroom family house on a quiet Dukes Wood road
Set on a generous 0.31-acre plot in the sought-after Dukes Wood area of Gerrards Cross, this detached five-bedroom home offers a rare blank canvas for a growing family. The property has been in the same ownership for around 50 years and is offered chain free, giving a straightforward route to possession for a buyer prepared to renovate.
The house requires complete modernisation throughout, so there is scope to reconfigure living space, add bathrooms and update services to contemporary standards. A long west-facing garden provides generous outdoor space for children and pets, and there is potential to extend or redevelop (subject to necessary consents) to increase living space and value.
Practical details: the home measures about 1,687 sq ft, has a single garage, double glazing of unknown age, gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and only one bathroom currently. Council tax is relatively high and the property will need substantial works, so buyers should budget for refurbishment costs and any planning applications.
This is a strong opportunity for a family or investor who wants to personalise a mid-20th-century detached house in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to highly rated schools. Viewings are recommended for those who can see the potential and accept the renovation scope required.
