Set on a wide frontage in N21, this 1930s detached house offers immediate family living with strong future growth potential. The ground floor provides two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom, while four good-size bedrooms and a modern family bathroom occupy the first floor. A deep 100' rear garden and off-street parking with a side garage create useful outdoor and parking capacity for family life.
A major selling point is the granted planning permission: garage conversion to a habitable room, front first-floor extension, two-storey rear/side extension, loft conversion and basement level extension. The consented works give scope to significantly increase living space and value, ideal for buyers wanting to create a larger family home or produce rental/income potential.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick 1930s build assumed to have no cavity insulation; energy-efficiency improvements and internal upgrading may be required. There is one family bathroom only, and council tax in the area is described as quite expensive—factors to budget for when assessing running costs and renovation scope.
Convenient for Winchmore Hill Green, Grovelands Park and Southgate (Piccadilly Line), the property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. For families seeking schools, several highly regarded primary and secondary options are nearby. Overall this detached house suits a growing family or buyer looking to extend and customise a substantial plot in a well-connected North London location.
