Description

This spacious 1920s terraced house presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation and investment. The property features a welcoming wide entrance hall that leads into a generous double-length reception and dining room, complete with a charming bay window. The separate kitchen, along with a convenient WC and useful storage, provides direct access to a rear garden, ideal for outdoor activities. On the upper floor, you will find three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with significant potential to extend into the loft and to the rear, subject to planning permissions. While the home does require modernisation, it offers an excellent canvas to create a four-bedroom, two-bathroom family residence in a sought-after area. Located on Whitmore Gardens, the property is conveniently close to the vibrant shops, cafés, and pubs of College Road. Both Kensal Green (Bakerloo) and Kensal Rise (Overground) stations are within easy reach, providing quick access to Central London. Additionally, Queen's Park is less than a quarter of a mile away, perfect for leisurely walks and picnics. The area is also well-served by local nurseries and schools, making it an attractive choice for families.

Confidence: LOW

This spacious 1920s terraced house presents a promising renovation project for those looking to create a modern family home. With a generous layout and good exterior condition, the property features a wide entrance hall, a double-length reception/dining room with a bay window, and a functional garden space. While the interior is dated and requires updates throughout, including worn carpets and older cabinetry in the kitchen, the existing structure provides a solid canvas for improvement.

The property is ideally situated near local amenities, including shops, cafés, and schools, and is within easy reach of Kensal Green and Kensal Rise stations. This location adds to its appeal, making it a strong candidate for those who want to invest in a family home that can be transformed into a four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence. However, the asking price of £1,150,000 feels on the higher side compared to local averages, which may limit the immediate opportunity for value creation.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout allows for creative redesign and modernization.
  • Potential to extend into the loft and rear, subject to planning.
  • Good exterior condition offers a solid foundation for renovations.

Key risks

  • Asking price is high compared to local averages, limiting immediate value add.
