Set on a secluded corner plot within a private road, this 1920s detached house delivers generous family accommodation across three floors. Over 2,700 sq ft of living space includes three reception rooms, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garage and extensive mature gardens with an in-ground swimming pool and pool house — ideal for outdoor family life and entertaining.
The home retains period character — high ceilings, dual-aspect rooms, sash-style windows and a Georgian-inspired brick façade — while presenting scope to modernise. The loft offers potential for conversion to a fifth bedroom (subject to consents). Long-standing owners have kept the house in good order, and the property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
Practical considerations: the house is built in solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, and the construction era means some upgrading may be needed to meet modern energy-efficiency standards. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors are balanced by fast broadband, good mobile signal, low local crime and proximity to highly rated state and independent schools — making the home well suited to growing families.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, private garden setting and boating-pool arrangement. The property’s mix of period charm, outdoor leisure space and scope for sympathetic updating makes it a strong option for buyers seeking a sizeable family home in a very affluent Northwood location.
