Large 1950s semi with extension potential in top school catchments — ideal for family refurbishment.
Large plot with private rear garden and driveway parking
Set on a large plot between New Barnet and Cockfosters, this 1950s semi-detached family home offers substantial space and scope for modernisation. The ground floor features an open-plan lounge/diner, a rear reception room, conservatory, fitted kitchen and off-street parking, while upstairs provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom. A side garage has been adapted into a workshop, adding useful storage or hobby space.
The property is offered as a renovation project and will benefit from updating throughout; cosmetic and systems work will be needed to bring it up to modern standards. Its size (about 1,736 sq ft) and plot create clear potential for a large double-storey side extension or the creation of an additional dwelling, subject to planning permission. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime make it practical for contemporary family life.
This house will particularly suit growing families seeking space within highly rated school catchments — several outstanding and good local primaries and secondaries are nearby — or buyers looking for a refurbishment project with development upside. The private rear garden and suburban setting provide a comfortable outdoor area, while the property’s freehold tenure and large plot are real long-term assets.
Important considerations: the home requires renovation and currently has only one bathroom, which may be limiting for larger families until altered. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and the need to obtain planning consent for any substantial extension or additional dwelling.
