Summary - Friern Mount Drive, London, N20 N20 9DN
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period detached house with huge renovation potential and exceptional garden.
Detached Tudor Revival house on a deep, mature garden plot
Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this Tudor Revival detached house combines period character with substantial update potential. Original features such as leaded and stained glass windows, oak flooring in the hall and living room, a feature fireplace and high kitchen ceilings give the house charm and presence. The wide reception hall, study, open-plan living/dining room and bright side kitchen provide flexible family living on the ground floor.
Set on a deep, mature plot, the large private garden includes a summer house, established fruit tree and an original air-raid shelter — a rare historic touch. A long driveway and garage provide parking and side access runs both sides of the house. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom in original tiled style and a large attic with scope for conversion (subject to consent) for additional space.
The house needs renovation and modernisation throughout, offering a chance to create a contemporary family home while retaining character. Practical points to note: solid brick walls likely lack insulation, the glazing install date is unknown, heating is mixed (mains gas boiler and radiators plus some electric underfloor heating) and the property will attract quite expensive council tax. The location is strong — close to Totteridge & Whetstone (Northern Line), Oakleigh Park mainline services, local shops and several highly regarded schools.
This is a substantial freehold family home in a very affluent area, best suited to buyers wanting a large garden, period features and scope to renovate rather than a move-in-ready property. Investors or builders may also value the potential to extend or convert (subject to planning).
