A spacious 1930s semi-detached home arranged over three floors, this chain-free property offers 1,701 sq ft of family accommodation with genuine scope to modernise. The house sits on a generous plot with a private driveway, front garden and a 68ft west-facing rear garden — rare outside space for this part of NW2. The top-floor loft conversion provides a double bedroom with an en-suite, giving useful separation for a teenager or home office.
Internally the layout includes two interconnecting reception rooms, a fitted kitchen opening to a conservatory, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators are in place, but the property reflects its era: solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and general updating will be needed to meet modern thermal standards.
Transport links are strong — Golders Green and Cricklewood stations are walkable and multiple bus routes provide direct routes into Central London. Local schools include several well-rated primaries and secondaries, making the house appealing to families. There is scope to update or extend, subject to planning permission, for those seeking to add value.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the area records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, council tax is described as expensive, and the property will benefit from refurbishment and improved insulation. Buyers should factor renovation costs and planning timescales into their plans. Overall, this is a substantial family home with outside space and development potential in a well-connected inner-London location.
