4 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Old Cottage Hospital, The Butts, Brentford TW8

Originally constructed around 1715, this historically significant Grade II listed property once served as the local hospital and nurse's accommodation. Today, it presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished four-bedroom period home, beautifully positioned in one of the most desirable locations within The Butts Conservation Area.

Set across four floors, the house enjoys an attractive double-fronted façade and a charming outlook over the peaceful green opposite. Steps lead to an elegant front entrance that opens into a generous hallway, featuring high ceilings, antique herringbone wood flooring, and original panelled walls—details that speak to the property’s heritage.

To one side of the hallway is a bright, dual-aspect reception room with a gas-effect fireplace, offering a welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining. Opposite, a separate dining room and a study provide flexible living options. From the study, patio doors open onto a private south-facing garden, ideal for outdoor dining and quiet enjoyment.

The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully reimagined as a spacious kitchen and dining area with underfloor heating. Marrying period character with contemporary style, this level also includes a utility room, shower room, and a dedicated wine room.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts the main bedroom, which benefits from a dual-aspect outlook and a stylish en suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom are located on the top floor.

Situation

The Butts conservation area is a hidden gem often used as a film location due to its historic and architecturally beautiful properties dating back to the Queen Anne, Georgian and Victorian periods. Ideally situated a few minutes’ walk from Brentford station which offers direct access to Waterloo in 30 minutes and approximately a mile from Boston Manor Underground Station on the Heathrow Branch of the Piccadilly Line. The Rivers Thames and Brent, the Grand Union Canal and St. Pauls Recreation Ground are also easily reached, as are local shops, restaurants and nearby bus services. The Butts Conservation Area is at the heart of the Borough’s heritage – a short distance from Boston Manor, Syon, Osterley and Gunnersbury Parks. This is also an ideal location for those wishing to access the M4, which provides speedy access to Heathrow and the west as well as directly into Central London.
