A substantial three bedroom 1930’s family home set in the ever popular Highams Park neighbourhood. This home has what we call in the trade good bones and is the perfect blank canvas. From the larger than average footprint (over 1000 sq ft!), to the downstairs WC and huge garden with separate garage, this lovely home has untapped potential. With a strong precedent for extending on the street (STPP) you could even extend outwards or upwards. Although in need of cosmetic modernisation, this well loved family home is offered chain free and is waiting for you to come and put your stamp on it.
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
This handsome home has plenty of kerb appeal thanks to its position set back from the pavement, with a large paved front garden. Inside you have a porch, handy for kicking off muddy boots - fresh from a stomp around neighbouring Highams Park. You have two reception rooms on the ground floor, as well as a kitchen with adjoining conservatory and downstairs WC. This versatile ground floor space could stay as is, or you could create a large through-lounge or equally impressive kitchen diner.
Doors from both the rear reception and the conservatory lead to that stunning garden, which has a mature and well manicured lawn as well as paved areas for garden furniture. The garage is a fantastic size and could easily be converted into a home office, and there is rear / side access as well.
Upstairs, you have three generously sized bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. The broad and bright hallway features original stained glass windows, a charming nod to the history of this home. The two bedrooms to the front have bay windows, ensuring the light floods in and the bedroom to the rear has some handy built-in wardrobes.
Outside, and the rolling greenery of Highams Park is just three minutes on foot, perfect for morning jogs, evening strolls and taking in the tremendous views over London. There's also the beloved Highams Park Lake, created at the turn of the century by landscape gardener Humphry Repton and more recently made famous by Blue Peter. Be sure to pay a visit to Humphry's Cafe at the south end of the park.
