With generous living spaces and the potential for reconfiguration, this property is an exciting project for those looking to create a personalized family home. The ground floor features a spacious dual-aspect sitting room, adorned with parquet flooring and a classic fireplace that offers a warm ambiance and views of the garden.

The kitchen/dining area is well-equipped and includes an adjoining utility room for added convenience. A conveniently located WC serves the ground floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom comes with built-in storage and an ensuite bathroom, while four additional bedrooms are comfortably sized and share a family shower room. The mature gardens at both the front and back of the property boast expansive lawns, established trees, hedges, and well-tended planting—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts or those seeking space to enhance their landscape design. The property also includes a tandem garage along with ample driveway parking. Situated in a highly sought-after cul-de-sac, this home is just a short walk from local amenities including the vibrant High Street and the train station, which provides efficient transport links to London Euston.
