Chain-free 4-bed semi with garage, garden and 0.2-mile walk to Oakwood tube — needs full modernisation.
Chain free four-bedroom semi-detached house on a decent plot
Set just 0.2 miles from Oakwood Underground, this 1930s semi-detached house gives a family-sized layout and a large, mature rear garden on a decent plot. The property offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms, an integral garage and off-street parking for several cars — practical features for everyday family life and school runs.
The house is offered chain free but requires a full programme of modernisation throughout. Fixtures and decorative finishes are dated, the living room shows signs of mid-century decor, and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation — buyers should expect substantial refurbishment, possible upgrades to services and a full survey before purchase.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating with a Vaillant boiler, an upstairs bathroom plus a downstairs WC, and useful built-in storage. The location is a major selling point: excellent transport links, several outstanding and highly ranked primary schools within walking distance, local shops and parks nearby, and a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
This house will suit buyers wanting to add significant value through renovation — a family seeking long-term stability or an investor prepared to undertake improvement works. It is not a move-in-ready purchase; budget and plans for modernisation should be factored into any offer.
