Set on a very large, mature plot in Oakleigh Park South, this deceptive detached house offers more than 4,000 sq ft of flexible family space across two-and-a-half levels. The ground floor is arranged for day-to-day living and entertaining with three substantial reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with garden views, utility and an exercise/craft room that opens directly to the lawn and patio. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suite), plus a mezzanine family room and study that overlook the rear garden.
Practical benefits include two garages, off-street parking and good local transport links (Totteridge & Whetstone Underground and Oakleigh Park mainline). The property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, making it well suited to growing families seeking space, privacy and long-term potential.
The house was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s and retains characterful proportions, but it will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Cavity walls are assumed to be without added insulation and the date of double glazing is unknown, so energy-efficiency improvements are likely. Council Tax is in a high band (Band G), and some updating of kitchens, bathrooms and services might be required to achieve contemporary standards.
This is an opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence with exceptional garden and parking provision in a coveted North London location. It will appeal most to buyers wanting generous internal volumes and scope to adapt and improve rather than a turnkey move-in property.
