Set on Crescent Road in East Barnet, this chain-free, 1930s detached house offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms and practical off-street parking including an attached garage. The property is presented as a comfortable family home with a through lounge and kitchen/dining room that suit daily family life and informal entertaining. Local amenities, good schools and two nearby stations (Oakleigh Park and New Barnet) provide strong everyday convenience for commuters and families.
The plot is a genuine strength: the listing highlights an extensive rear garden (advertised as approximately 240 ft) and a modest front garden, giving scope for outdoor living, play space or landscaping projects. The building retains period character externally (bay windows, pitched tiled roof) and offers room to modernise internally to personal taste — this creates potential to increase value, subject to budget and planning.
Buyers should note straightforward, factual drawbacks: there is a single family bathroom; the property likely has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (assumed) so thermal upgrades may be needed. The EPC graphic shown suggests a current rating around 60 (D) with potential near 84 (B), indicating measurable energy-improvement opportunities. The interior will likely benefit from modest modernisation rather than full refurbishment.
This house suits a growing family seeking a spacious plot in a well-connected suburban location, or buyers wanting a period detached with scope to improve energy efficiency and internal finishes. It is chain free and vacant possession simplifies timing, but purchasers should budget for insulation, heating/EPC improvements and cosmetic updating.
