Description

Nestled on a private road, this fully refurbished detached house is set within approximately an acre of landscaped grounds, featuring expansive lawns, a wildlife pond, and mature trees that provide a serene backdrop.

The new build is designed to harmonize with the natural landscape, boasting a modernist aesthetic with a fully glazed rear elevation. The expansive grounds offer ample outdoor space, perfect for relaxation or entertaining, while the proximity to Gerrards Cross station ensures easy access to London Marylebone in just twenty minutes.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Harley Cottage presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a fully modernised home with excellent finishes and a generous private plot in Gerrards Cross. The spacious living areas, well-maintained interiors, and modern kitchen are standout features, while the extensive grounds of approximately one acre, complete with woodland and a wildlife pond, provide a tranquil setting. The addition of full planning permission for a second contemporary house designed by RIBA architects introduces a rare chance to capitalize on the plot's potential, whether for family living or as a rental income opportunity.

However, while the property is listed at £1,650,000, equating to £604/sqf, this is above the local average of £565/sqf, indicating limited price/value. With an E grade and a score of 39/100, the opportunity for value add is minimal and the economics are constrained due to insufficient renovation data. This listing might appeal more to buyers focused on the land and planning permission rather than immediate economic returns.

Key opportunities

  • Full planning permission for a second modernist dwelling within the grounds, ready to build.
  • Large private plot of approximately one acre, offering privacy and the potential for extensive landscaping or outdoor amenities.
  • Modern interiors and excellent finishes, providing a comfortable living space with minimal immediate refurbishment needs.
