Set in a desirable Stanmore cul-de-sac, this spacious five-bedroom detached house offers 1,810 sqft of well-proportioned living across two floors — a practical family home with genuine scope to adapt. The ground floor features a wide kitchen-diner with family area, separate utility and French doors to a westerly garden, plus a nearly 23ft bay-fronted sitting room and a separate office. Off-street parking for two cars and easy access to Stanmore station (0.5 mile) add daily convenience.
Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from a bay front and a Jack & Jill en-suite; four further bedrooms share a separate shower room. The property’s 1930s solid-brick construction gives character and generous room sizes, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide basic modern comforts. Local amenities, excellent schools (including North London Collegiate and Avanti House) and strong transport links make the location particularly family-friendly.
Practical considerations: the house was built 1930–1949 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be recommended. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive — both important for family budgeting. The home offers clear potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to permissions) for those seeking more space or to personalise finishes.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-located family home offering immediate liveability and the opportunity to modernise and increase value. Buyers should factor in likely retrofit/insulation work, possible bathroom additions, and higher running costs when viewing.
