IN BRIEF

If you’re looking for a three bedroom house with plenty of potential for adding value and space, this could be the one for you. Located opposite the open green space of Firs Farm, it has front and back gardens and a garage, and is within easy walking distance of Winchmore Hill station.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

With unobstructed views of the playing fields and mature trees opposite, this house is in a prime location. It’s also close to shops, schools, and the station.

Whilst the ground floor has been improved and extended to create bigger rooms and better flow, the first floor remains unchanged. A small, glazed porch opens into the hallway, which has a built-in cupboard and doors to all three interconnecting ground floor rooms. The front and rear reception rooms are linked by wide glazed sliding doors, and the rear reception room has been opened up to the spacious kitchen, housed in a sizeable ground floor extension. There’s also a WC on this floor.

With the double doors open, the three rooms measure over 35 ft from the front to the back of the house, with a line of sight to the rear garden through the wide window above the sink. The front room has a lovely bay window, whilst the second reception room makes a perfect dining area. The large L-shaped kitchen has tiled walls and fitted cabinets with integrated and freestanding appliances. A glazed door leads to the back lobby which has doors to the WC and garden.

The first floor has two double bedrooms with bay windows, one good size single bedroom, and a bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled and has a bath with two shower fittings (mixer and overhead), a washbasin console, a WC, and a large, obscured glass window.

The house is double glazed and has gas central heating. It’s has attractive original features including cornicing and picture rails, and painted solid wood panelled doors. The décor is dated, providing a great opportunity for adding value. Similar properties nearby have extended into the loft.
The property is set back from the road behind a low retaining wall and has a front garden with a lawn and a paved path. Outside, approximately 50ft long west-facing garden has a paved terrace adjacent to the house, and a lawn bordered by a bed with specimen trees on one side and a path on the other. At the end of the garden there’s a brick garage which can be accessed either from the garden or the single-track private road beyond. This is gated and provides pedestrian and vehicle access to several neighbouring properties.
