This attractive four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers flexible accommodation across three floors and sits on a deep 70ft west-facing garden. The extended kitchen breakfast room with twin skylights creates a bright family hub, while a separate lounge and TV room/study provide useful living and work-from-home options. The top-floor principal bedroom includes dormer windows and an en-suite shower, giving privacy from the three bedrooms on the first floor.
Practical features include off-street parking to the front, a detached garden studio/home office, double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property totals about 1,397 sq ft on a decent plot and is well placed for Cromer Road Primary and several highly regarded secondary schools, plus New Barnet station and local shops.
Known considerations: the house is a mid-period build (c.1930–49) with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation; energy upgrades may be required. Council tax is above average and the local area records higher-than-average crime—important for buyer budgeting and security planning. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
There's scope to update and improve internally and potential for loft or rear extension subject to planning permission. For families seeking generous garden space, good school access and roomy adaptable living, this home offers immediate comfort with clear opportunities to add long-term value.
