Set on a prestigious residential road in Barnet, this four-bedroom semi-detached house is arranged over multiple floors and offers substantial family accommodation. The standout feature is a rare 200ft south-facing garden with a raised terrace, ideal for children’s play, gardening and long summer evenings. A garage and resin-bonded driveway provide secure parking and storage.
Internally the home delivers two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, guest WC, family bathroom and a top-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower and far-reaching valley views. The accommodation suits family life and offers flexibility for a home office or playroom. Planning permission was granted in March 2021 for a two-storey side extension, presenting clear scope to increase living space (subject to any remaining consents and build costs).
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house dates from the 1930s–40s, with solid brick walls and double glazing (installation date unknown). There may be scope and cost to improve insulation and modernise some services. Council tax is noted as expensive and local crime levels sit above average — factors to weigh for family budgeting and security planning.
Location benefits include close proximity to highly rated local schools, shops and High Barnet Underground Station with direct services to central London. The property borders Greenbelt countryside and has excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, making it a comfortable family base with commuting convenience and outdoor access.
