Set on a quiet Brooklands Gardens road in Potters Bar, this 1945 semi‑detached home offers 1,163 sq ft of comfortable family living and practical commuter links. Two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and three well‑proportioned bedrooms provide an immediately liveable layout for families or professionals. The property is chain‑free and freehold, with off‑street parking and a small forecourt driveway.
The location is a major asset: a short walk to the train station, local shops and good bus links, with quick access to the M25 and A1. Families will value proximity to highly regarded schools including Dame Alice Owen’s and several strong primary options. The neighbourhood is affluent with very low crime and fast broadband — appealing for both family life and home working.
The house retains 1940s character with bay windows, leaded glazing and traditional brickwork, and appears well maintained internally. There is clear potential to increase living space via a loft conversion (roof skylight present) or internal reconfiguration, making this attractive to buyers seeking value‑adding improvements.
Notable practical points: the property has one main bathroom plus additional WCs but may require modernisation to suit contemporary tastes; the front garden/drive is small so on‑street parking is sometimes needed. Prospective buyers should note the house is mid‑20th century construction — attractive for character but likely to need typical period maintenance and updating over time.
