Gerard Road, Harrow

THE PROPERTY

Requiring Full Modernisation | Ideally located in Gerard Road, this impressively large semi-detached period house offers tremendous potential to renovate. You will find high ceilings, graceful over-size rooms and fireplaces throughout this early 1900's built property, which stands on a particularly generous plot allowing for significant extension, subject to consent.

This is a project and a rare opportunity to create your ideal family home in one of Central Harrow's most desired residential streets. A large reception hall with fireplace sets the tone with a 30' living room and separate 17' dining room confirming the grand scale of this 2,700sq/ft house. Upstairs the 6 bedrooms are arranged over the upper 2 floors, and many period features remain from the impressive staircase to some original timber floors and wood-panelled walls.

The plot is unusually long and also very wide, with a large detached timber garage & store set away to the side. The potential to considerably extend is very clear, and you should make your own enquiries regarding the necessary consent for individual plans. In our view the hallway being usefully placed as it is provides ample scope, as does the huge rear garden. To the front is plenty of driveway parking and the house is presently functional, with gas-fired central heating (not tested).

Gerard Road and its sister, Flambard Road have long been regarded as the best streets within the Harrow area, filled with desirable property in a highly convenient location central for the town and transport including Underground & Overground stations with Metropolitan, Chiltern and Main Line services to central London. Many highly rated private and state schools are close by, including Co-ed schools such as Orley Farm Prep School and John Lyon School on Harrow on the Hill.

Harrow also features a choice of supermarkets including Tesco at the end of the street, 2 covered shopping centres, a Vue Cinema, gymnasiums and many other useful amenities. There are also good road links to the Home Counties and London airports, plus the new Superloop service to Heathrow and many green spaces including a local 'Green Flag' recreation park which all add to the area's attraction.
