This extended three-bedroom end-of-terrace offers classic 1930s character and practical family space on a quiet residential street, close to Friern Barnet Lane amenities and strong local schools. The layout includes two/three reception rooms, ground-floor cloakroom, a separate WC, and a kitchen opening to a rear garden and garage — useful for families or buyers seeking extra storage and off-street parking.
The house requires modernization throughout: cosmetic and systems updates are needed, and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated. The property presents clear scope for refurbishment and value-adding improvements such as reconfiguring living space, updating the kitchen and bathroom, and insulating the loft and walls. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and checks on heating, electrics and damp as fittings and services have not been tested.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing, access to a 40ft rear garden with side entrance, and a garage reached from a service road. The property’s size (~969 sq ft) and traditional layout suit a growing family or an investor targeting rental demand near good schools and transport links. Note the area records above-average crime and council tax is higher than average — factors to weigh alongside the home’s income or living potential.
This home is best for buyers comfortable with a renovation project who want to add value in an inner-city, well-connected location. Immediate move-in without works is unlikely; however, the combination of period features, garden and garage gives scope to create a comfortable family home or a worthwhile investment once modernised.
