A rare Stanmore opportunity: this substantial 1930s Arts and Crafts semi-detached house offers over 2,000 sq ft across three storeys with four double bedrooms, generous reception spaces and a private rear garden. The property is vacant and sold freehold, providing a spacious family layout and off-street parking plus a garage.
The major value-driver is granted planning permission to create a luxury home — the paperwork is complete so refurbishment can begin immediately. The house retains period proportions and character that will reward a sensitive restoration or contemporary remodelling. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to Stanmore Underground Station and high-performing local schools make the location family-friendly and well connected.
Practical realities are straightforward: the house needs full modernisation and refurbishment throughout. There are material drawbacks to note — the area records higher local crime levels and council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should factor renovation costs and any security improvements into the overall budget despite the property’s attractive plot, scale and planning advantage.
For families or small developers seeking a large, character-rich home with immediate planning in place, this property offers a clear canvas in a desirable, well-served part of Stanmore. The combination of size, private garden, garage and town-centre convenience makes it a strong candidate for conversion into a long-term family residence or high-value resale once works are complete.
