This substantial Edwardian end-of-terrace offers classic period character with modern potential in a sought-after Harrow-on-the-Hill location. Bright, well-proportioned rooms include two reception rooms with original fireplaces, an 18 ft hallway with original quarry tiles and a sunny conservatory overlooking a private garden. The layout suits family life immediately but also rewards cosmetic updating and reconfiguration for added value.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room, first-floor bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing. At about 1,193 sq ft across two floors, the property provides flexible accommodation — two double bedrooms plus a smaller third bedroom or study — and scope to extend further subject to normal planning consents (STPP).
Buyers should note the house needs renovation throughout and sits on a small plot; works may be required to modernise finishes and services. The area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. Despite that, the location is strong for families and commuters: Harrow-on-the-Hill station, good schools and open spaces are all within easy reach, and local road and bus links provide straightforward access across London and to Heathrow.
For purchasers seeking a period home with character, good bones and clear potential to create a contemporary family house close to top schools and transport, this property represents a compelling project. For investors or buyers wanting a turnkey home, the required renovation and local crime statistics are important considerations.
