Description
A detached six-bedroom house in the St James area of Goffs Oak, with approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, a double garage and a west-facing rear garden. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, conservatory, shower room and a snug or sixth bedroom. Upstairs are five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, together with two further bathrooms.
The property has a driveway with parking and side access to the garden, which includes a lawn and paved patio with a barbecue area. It is in a cul-de-sac within walking distance of the village, with local schools, shops, transport links, the M25 and Cuffley mainline station nearby. The house is offered chain free and the listing notes scope to extend, subject to planning. Previous permission for an extension lapsed in 2025, so any proposal would require the relevant planning application.

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £1,295,000, this substantial six-bedroom detached home is priced at £423 per sq ft, around 19% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to add value. Its spacious reception areas, double garage and secluded west-facing garden give the property plenty to work with, while the visible condition looks clean and serviceable rather than in need of a major overhaul.
The dated kitchen and bathroom finishes offer scope for a light cosmetic update, and the listing also points to possible extension potential, subject to planning; previous permission has lapsed. Overall, this is a good opportunity combining a sizeable family home, attractive outdoor space and below-average pricing.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a price per square foot around 19% below the local average.
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes while retaining the generally clean, usable interiors.
- Explore the stated extension potential, subject to planning, and make the most of the substantial west-facing garden and patio.
