Description

This charming Grade II Listed cottage offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Coming to the market for the first time in over six decades, this home is set back from the road, surrounded by mature gardens that provide both space and privacy. The cottage features two generously sized bedrooms and a triple-aspect lounge that fills the interior with natural light while offering panoramic views of the garden. The layout also includes a dining room, bathroom, and kitchen, all of which are ripe for modernization. Character elements such as standard height ceilings and original fireplaces contribute to the home's charm but will benefit from updates to align with contemporary living standards. An entrance porch welcomes you into the home, leading to an inner hall and practical features such as an under-stairs cupboard for additional storage. The kitchen, equipped with dual-aspect leaded light windows and base and eye-level units, provides access to the rear garden, making it a functional space ready for reimagining. Outside, extensive gardens wrap around the property, predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by various mature trees including apple and walnut varieties. A variety of outbuildings include a large garage, workshop equipped with workbenches, and generous parking options allowing for multiple vehicles or even potential conversion into additional spaces or amenities. Conveniently located near Whiteheath School (infant and junior), as well as local amenities in Ruislip—including shops, restaurants, bus routes, and rail links (Metropolitan/Piccadilly lines)—this property is perfectly placed for both family living and investment growth. The nearby A40, M40, and M25 provide swift access to Central London and the Home Counties. This property's historic character paired with its renovation needs presents an exciting canvas for future homeowners or investors looking for a project within a sought-after area. An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate its potential.
