Arriving home
The house is part of a short terrace of brick houses built in 2013 in a traditional style, with sash-style windows, a bay to the front and railings behind a low brick wall. Leave the car in your own gated space and let yourself into a hallway with room for coats, and the stairs ahead of you.
Evenings in and having friends round
The sitting and dining room runs across the front of the house at 15'10 x 15'1. The bay window fills it with light, and there's room for two sofas, an armchair and a dining table for four on the wood-effect floor. At the back, the kitchen (12'11 x 9'3) has white gloss handleless units, a built-in oven and microwave, and a tiled floor with space for a second table. Its two windows look out over the garden.
Beyond the kitchen, a utility room takes the laundry and has a door straight out to the garden. There's also a cloakroom WC on the ground floor, so guests never need to go upstairs.
Sleeping and dressing
Upstairs, the main bedroom (12'10 x 11'1) overlooks the garden and the second bedroom (10'11 x 10'3) faces the front; both are comfortable doubles. The third bedroom (8'8 x 8'2) has been fitted with wardrobes along both walls and is used as a walk-in wardrobe. Take the wardrobes out and it becomes a bedroom, nursery or home office again.
The bathroom has a bath and a separate shower enclosure, with large-format tiles and a heated towel rail. A loft gives extra storage for suitcases and seasonal things.
The garden
The rear garden is about 35ft x 21ft and set out on two levels for easy care. A paved patio runs across the back of the house, with room for a table and chairs for summer meals. Sleeper-edged borders planted with evergreen shrubs frame the timber steps up to a lawn, and a garden shed sits at the far end. It's large enough for children to play and small enough to look after in an hour at the weekend.
Parking in the village
Bushey Village became a controlled parking zone in the summer of 2026, with permits needed to park on the street from Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm. This house has its own gated, allocated off-street space, so there's no hunting for a space or relying on a permit when you get home. On-street permits are applied for through Hertsmere, so anyone who needs one for a second car may want to check eligibility in advance.
Low-carbon living
There's no gas: Heating and hot water come from an air source heat pump, feeding radiators with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic valves, backed up by high-performance glazing, 200mm of loft insulation and very efficient lighting. The result is an EPC rating of B (81), against an England and Wales average of D, and an environmental impact rating of A. The certificate says an average household would need to spend about £853 a year on heating, hot water and lighting here, based on 2026 average costs. A smart electricity meter is already fitted, and the EPC suggests solar panels could lift the score to 86.
Ready to move into
At about 919 sq ft over two floors, the house has been looked after by the same owner since it was built, and it's very well presented throughout. Ultrafast full-fibre broadband of up to 1,800Mb/s is available, and there's no onward chain.
It would suit a couple or young family moving up from a flat, someone working from home, or a downsizer who wants a manageable garden and parking close to the shops.
An easy commute
Bushey station is a mostly flat walk of about 19 minutes (0.9 miles). Fast London Northwestern Railway trains reach London Euston in as little as 16 minutes, and the Lioness line (London Overground) runs to Euston and Watford Junction. The 142 and 258 buses stop on the High Street for the station and Watford, and run on towards Stanmore, Edgware and Harrow. By car, junction 5 of the M1 is about 10 minutes away.
Local life
This is village life on foot. Bushey Museum and Art Gallery, which tells the story of the artist Hubert von Herkomer and his famous art school, is just yards away on Rudolph Road itself, and the High Street is a short walk beyond, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs. At its heart, a village green and duck pond sit in front of St James' Church, Grade II* listed, with a chancel dating back to the 13th century. Weekends can start with a cooked breakfast, or coffee and a slice of homemade cake, at the Village Café. For dinner, Bella Rosa is a family-run Italian a few minutes from the door, and Zaza is a popular choice for birthdays and celebrations. On a night in, there's Vincenzo's, the New York-style pizzeria that people travel from all over the country to try. It often sells out fast, so order early. And for a pint, The Swan and The Red Lion are both in the village.
Every summer the volunteer-run Bushey Festival brings the whole village together, with more than 30 events over ten days, from a community market and food stalls to a children's funfair.
For somewhere so close to London, the area is surprisingly green. Bushey Rose Garden on the High Street is a Grade II listed garden created in 1913 by Thomas Mawson for Herkomer. The Moatfield recreation ground is close by, and King George Recreation Ground has tennis and sports courts and has held a Green Flag award for more than 20 years. The house is within the Bushey High Street conservation area, which helps protect the character of the streets around it. For families, Bournehall Primary School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, is about a third of a mile away, and Watford Grammar School for Girls about a mile and a half (straight-line distances).
