Large plot, garage and parking — ideal family renovation with extension potential STPP.
Chain free three-bedroom detached Hicks house
Set on a substantial 108ft x 39ft rear plot, this three-bedroom Hicks-style detached house offers classic 1950s character and clear scope for enlargement (subject to planning). The wide driveway and large garage make parking effortless for a growing family, while the long private garden provides space for play, landscaping or an extension to the rear.
The house is offered chain free and retains many original features such as bay windows, parquet flooring and fitted bedroom wardrobes, but it does require modernisation throughout. The accommodation includes a large lounge, separate dining room, study/fourth bedroom, ground-floor WC, upstairs bathroom plus separate WC — a practical layout for family life but with only one full bathroom.
Buyers should factor in refurbishment works and possible building upgrades: the property is solid-brick (assumed no wall insulation) and, while double glazed and gas‑central heated, it will benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards. There is potential to extend STPP to increase living space and long-term value. Council Tax Band F (Hertsmere) reflects higher running costs.
This house will suit families who value outdoor space, parking and good local schools, and who are prepared to invest in renovation to create a modern family home in a very affluent, well‑connected Potters Bar neighbourhood.
