Set on a generous plot in the Royds conservation area, this detached 1930s ‘Hicks’ style bungalow offers comfortable single‑level living with a sunny southerly garden. The layout includes a bay‑fronted lounge, separate kitchen/diner with dining area, two bedrooms (or flexible 2/3 bedroom use) and a modern wet‑room shower. Practical features include a detached garage with workshop, large block‑paved driveway for multiple cars and a useful water softener in the utility cupboard.
The home will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking easy access to Potters Bar town centre, the station and highly ranked local schools. Interior finishes are tidy and functional — laminate floors, contemporary bathroom fittings and a fitted kitchen — but there is scope to personalise or update some areas. The loft is accessible and there is potential to reconfigure or improve thermal performance subject to conservation rules and planning.
Be candid about the main negatives: the property sits in a high flood‑risk area and the external walls are original solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential flood mitigation and improved insulation or retrofit works. Council Tax is band F, which is relatively expensive. Interested purchasers should seek professional advice on flood cover, energy improvements and any conservation area restrictions before committing.
