Summary - Watford Lock 13 Enfield Lock, Enfield EN3 6JQ
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious three‑bedroom Victorian waterside house with strong refurbishment potential.
Waterfront Victorian lock‑keeper's house with direct canal outlook
Occupying a prominent waterfront position on the River Lee, this substantial Victorian lock‑keeper’s house offers generous, characterful living space across c.1,522 sq ft. High ceilings, bay windows and period brick detailing give the property strong period appeal; internal layout includes two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, utility, cellar and two bathrooms—suitable for family living or flexible use of the ground floor room as a home office or bedroom.
The house is chain‑free and benefits from an idyllic riverside outlook and proximity to parkland and local amenities. Its size and room proportions present clear scope for sympathetic refurbishment to create a comfortable modern family home while retaining historic features. Immediate appeal for buyers seeking waterside character within commuting distance of central London.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, and will require updating to contemporary standards. Local area indices show above‑average crime and high levels of deprivation, and the frontage to the towpath limits private garden space. Council tax is above average. These are factual drawbacks that affect suitability and running costs.
A viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the riverside setting, layout and scope for improvement. This is a good opportunity for purchasers willing to invest in modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential as a roomy, characterful family home or investment with waterside appeal.
