Offered chain free, this three-bedroom semi-detached home on Holdbrook North is a practical buy-for-improvement with clear scope to add value. The property dates from the 1930s–40s, retains period proportions and sits on a decent rear garden approaching 26m, creating scope for rear extension (STPP) or substantial remodelling.
Internally the layout works for a family: a long lounge/diner, ground-floor WC, kitchen and rear conservatory, with three bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. The house requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and system upgrades are needed — but the room sizes and plot make it suitable for an owner-occupier renovation or investor refit.
Practical benefits include double glazing, mains gas central heating, low flood risk and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The location is a strong transport asset: within walking distance of Waltham Cross BR station and bus station, with fast access to the A10 and M25. Local primary and secondary schools nearby are mostly rated Good.
Be upfront on drawbacks: the property needs renovation, walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, natural light in parts is limited and the wider area is classified as very deprived. Crime levels are low, council tax is moderate and the home is freehold and chain free, making a quicker purchase possible for buyers prepared to invest.
