Tucked away on Oakleigh Avenue in Whetstone, this 1920s semi-detached family home offers over 2,300 sq ft of traditional living space with pronounced period character. Five well-proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast area give flexible space for family life, homework corners and occasional home-working. The mature, south-east facing garden and integrated garage with off-street parking create practical outdoor and storage benefits rare in N20.
Original features — leaded/stained glass, Art Deco panelling and bay windows — give the house charm and presence. The property is freehold, on mains gas with a conventional boiler and radiators, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to good primary and secondary schools and local transport links.
Practical considerations: the house has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and double glazing fitted before 2002, so buyers should expect upgrade work to improve thermal performance and energy costs. Council tax is in a higher band. There is clear scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning) for extra living space or modernisation — a good opportunity for buyers wanting a character home they can adapt.
Overall, this is a substantial family home in a prestigious North London street that will suit buyers seeking period detail, generous rooms and a large private garden, while accepting some energy-efficiency and modernisation work to bring the property fully up to contemporary standards.
