Set on the desirable Old Lodge Estate, this 1930s detached family home offers substantial living space across two storeys and a large rear garden. The house includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms, making it well suited to growing families who need flexible space close to good schools and open green areas. Stanmore Jubilee Line station and local shops are within easy walking distance.
The property retains period character such as bay windows and solid brick construction but shows dated internal decor and will benefit from modernisation throughout. There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission), offering scope to reconfigure or enlarge living areas and potentially increase value.
Practical features include a garage, paved driveway with multiple parking spaces, double glazing and mains gas central heating. Note the solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and an older finish which means investment is needed to improve energy efficiency and update services and interiors. Council tax is in a high band and should be factored into running costs.
This chain-free home suits families seeking a spacious, characterful house in a very affluent area with excellent schools and green space nearby. It will particularly appeal to buyers prepared to refurbish or extend to create a modern family layout and long-term value.
