Rare 216ft south-facing garden; spacious family home near Cockfosters and top schools.
Five bedrooms across 1,863 sqft—substantial family space
Set on a sought-after road near Cockfosters, this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home offers 1,863 sqft of family accommodation and a rare 216ft south-facing garden. The layout includes three reception rooms, an eat-in kitchen with utility area, two bathrooms and a garage with driveway. Good transport links (Cockfosters Piccadilly line and nearby rail) and highly regarded local schools make this a strong family location.
The property retains 1930s character – bay windows, high ceilings and traditional fireplaces – but much of the interior requires updating. Double glazing was fitted post-2002 and the heating is mains gas boiler with radiators. There is clear potential to extend into the loft and to reconfigure the garage (both subject to planning) to increase living space and value.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, off-street parking and a long, secluded south-facing garden ideal for family use or landscaping projects. Energy performance currently shows room for improvement (EPC D with potential to C). Council Tax Band G should be factored into ongoing running costs.
This home suits growing families seeking space and a strong school catchment, and investors or renovators who can modernise interiors and unlock loft or garage potential. Expect to budget for cosmetic modernisation and kitchen/bathroom upgrades to fully realise the property’s value.
