Large six-bedroom Tudor-style home with private garden and strong local schools.
Gated entrance and private, wrap-around garden with mature planting
Set behind a gated entrance on a quiet close in Arkley, this substantial six-bedroom detached house balances generous living space with a private, wrap-around garden. The property’s Tudor Revival façade and timber detailing provide character while the interior layout—four reception rooms, a study and a large loft bedroom—gives flexible family living and entertaining space. The double garage and large driveway make multi-car households easy to manage.
Located in a very affluent part of Barnet, the house sits close to highly regarded state and independent schools and offers straightforward road access to the M1 and M25; central London is reachable in around 30 minutes by car. Local train stations at Totteridge, Mill Hill and Barnet extend commuting options. The plot is large and secluded, with mature planting that enhances privacy and outdoor living.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds in the area are slow and the council tax band is very expensive, both factors to budget for. The property was built and double-glazed before 2002, so some elements (windows, insulation and services) may benefit from updating over time. There are three bathrooms for six bedrooms, which is workable but may require modification for larger households.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family house in a sought-after North London location. It will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and strong local schools, and those prepared to carry out selective modernisation to maximise long-term comfort and value.
