Denham Road, Iver, SL0

A Character Cottage That Gives You Options Instead Of A To-Do List. Close to the Elizabeth Line, this substantial semi-detached has already been beautifully updated inside. Outside, there’s a large garden and two separate outbuildings with scope to become a gym, studio or a long term let / Airbnb.

Most character cottages come with a long list of jobs attached. This one lets you skip straight to deciding what you actually want from it.

Furze Cottage sits on Denham Road in Iver, double-fronted and full of the kind of character you can't fake - with exposed brick, a dormer roofline and windows that let the light pour into every room.

Inside, the reception room and Shaker open-plan kitchen-diner have already been finished to a superb modern standard, so you can move straight in and actually enjoy living here from day one.
The kitchen itself is a sociable family space, with cream cabinetry, a range cooker and plenty of worktop for cooking and catching up together. It opens through to the dining area and out towards the garden, so summer evenings can spill outside without anyone having to think about it.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and two stylish modern bathrooms including one with an Edwardian bath, give you all the space a growing family needs, without any of the compromises that usually come with a cottage this age.

Beyond the main house, two separate outbuildings give you real choice. One's currently set up as a home office and gym with its own shower room, the other a self-contained studio with its own kitchen and bathroom, currently let for £1,200-£1,500 a month. Whether you want to keep that income coming in, use it as space for teenagers to spread out, or turn it into a proper work-from-home setup, the choice is entirely yours.

The garden wraps around the back of the property. It’s mostly lawn with a paved patio for barbecues and morning coffee, bordered by mature trees that give it a genuinely private, grown-in feel. There's room to extend further here too, subject to planning - and if that gets you thinking bigger still, it's worth knowing the seller is acting on behalf of the neighbouring property as well.

Together, the two semi-detached five-bedroom homes could be bought as one plot of around 29,000 sq ft, just under two thirds of an acre. That opens the door to keeping both houses as they are for rental or resale, or clearing the site to build one large detached home on a genuinely rare plot for the area, subject to planning.

Iver itself has a sought-after useful mix of village charm and serious connectivity. Both Iver and Langley’s Elizabeth Line stations are less than a ten minute drive away, getting you into central London in well under an hour.

For drivers, the M4, M25 and M40 are all close by, making this an easy base whichever direction your commute takes you. The Colne Valley Regional Park is on the doorstep for weekend walks, and Gerrards Cross and Uxbridge cover the bigger shopping trips.

If you want a character home you can move into without a renovation To-Do List hanging over you, and outbuildings and land that let you decide how you actually want to live, this one gives you more choice than most.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this one, so get in touch to arrange a viewing before it's gone.
