Generous south-facing rear garden, private and level
Integrated single garage plus wide carriage driveway parking

Potential to convert garage and loft (subject to consents)
This substantial four-bedroom detached house on Chalton Drive offers unusually large living space (approx. 3,183 sq ft) and a south-facing rear garden, ideal for family life and entertaining. The house is set back behind a wide carriage driveway with an integrated garage and off-street parking, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to strong local schools and green open spaces.
The property has a generous ground-floor layout with a triple-length reception, separate family and breakfast rooms and a large kitchen area, giving clear scope to reconfigure or create an open-plan family hub. There is further potential to convert the garage and to develop the loft into additional bedrooms and a bathroom, subject to consents — attractive for growing families wanting long-term expansion.
Important practical points are clear: the house requires comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment throughout. Construction details include solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), an older glazing installation (double glazed but install date unknown) and a traditional gas boiler with radiators. Council tax is very expensive and the property has a non-traditional tenure, both of which should be factored into ownership costs.
For buyers who value space, location and scope rather than a finished turnkey home, this is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family residence in a highly desirable N2 turning. The property is offered for sale on the market for the first time in over 60 years and suits purchasers prepared to invest in a full renovation to unlock its full potential.
