House For Sale £600,000
This three bedroom semi detached mid 20th century property is in a great location in the Arnos Grove area of Barnet, opposite playing fields in a quiet street, with leafy views from the front and rear of the property. It offers a rare opportunity to add value through renovation and extension whilst putting your own stamp on the property.
This is a substantial three bedroom family home, with 1,094 square feet of space inside, a paved front garden and shared drive, and a 73 ft rear garden with a shed and garage. The large size of the garden allows plenty of scope for extension to the rear of the property without compromising the outside space, and neighbouring properties have extended both to the rear and on the top floor.
Whilst the property has been well-maintained, the décor is dated and the house would benefit from renovation and modernisation throughout. In its current configuration it has a traditional layout with a living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs, and three bedrooms, a shower room and a WC upstairs. As is typical of homes of this vintage, all rooms are generously sized. The largest rooms are the front living room and the main bedroom above, each measuring 14’2” by 11’8” with large, sunny southeast-facing bay windows.
To the rear of the ground floor there’s a dining room and a separate kitchen. The dining room has a large picture window that provides fabulous views of the garden and mature trees beyond. The kitchen has fitted wall and floor cabinets, space for freestanding appliances, and doors to both the hallway and the rear garden. A window above the sink provides additional natural light.
There are two double bedrooms and one single bedroom on the first floor. The main front bedroom has a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes and unobstructed views over the playing field opposite, and the rear bedrooms have views of the back garden and the trees beyond. The second and third bedrooms also both have bespoke fitted cupboards. The shower room and WC have contemporary fixtures and fittings, and good natural light and ventilation from opening windows.
Outside, there’s a small paved terrace adjacent to the rear of the property, and a garden path that leads alongside the detached garage and shed to the end of the garden. The garden is mainly lawned and has a beautiful bank of trees beyond.
Nearby Arnos Grove has a wide selection of local independent and high street shops, cafes and restaurants, including a Costa Coffee and Sainsbury’s local. There are also plenty of amenities, such as the popular Waterfall Tennis Club just moments away.
There’s great access to green spaces. The Pymmes Brook Trail, a four minute walk away, leads to Arnos Park, a lovely green space with grassland and wooded areas, a playground and bowling club, and tennis courts. 21-hectare Broomfield Park, one of the most popular green spaces in the area, is just over a mile from your door. This has three landscaped lakes, a model boat pond, bandstand, a sensory garden, an orchard, the Broomfield Conservatory, various sporting facilities, and great views of Alexandra Palace, the City and Westminster.
Transport links are excellent, with a tube and a train station within easy walking distance. Arnos Grove station, on the Piccadilly Line, is a 13 minute walk. This has 19 minute journeys to King’s Cross. New Southgate train station is a 15 minute walk. This has regular 23-minute services to Moorgate in the City.
The property is also within the catchment area of several very good primary and secondary schools. The property is offered chain free.
